Having to bend the PCB pins by 30deg just to get the plug on is ridiculous.
Ramen brother, ramen. I just went with longer screws to hold the bed up since I didn't dare bend the pins.

Very good advice. I have had some experience with crimping Ethernet cables so I didn't find it that difficult but it's not easy. Also the crimps you link to look very different from the ones that came with my reprap pro.
