Doinn it wrong again...em7355 (m.2 card) install into X200T or X300

OK, slapped a $35 Gobi4000 and an intel 7260 AC card in the X200T a few weeks ago, working groovy except for the Intel BT, which doesn't seem to work for a lot of folks...
Then an Ebay notification popped up for gobi 5000 for $50, em7355, m.2 card, so i ordered it from USA and the minipcie<>ngff wwan adapter from China, both of which arrived at about the same time, (gobi5000 was from US seller shipping very slow, but hey, it came with an unused SIM still on the retail card)
In any case, electrically there is no issue, but the m.2 cards take even itty-bittier RF connectors.... I can't even figure out what they are called.
Does anyone know of short adapter cables, what the new connectors are called, or if I should just hunt down some current X230/240T model antennas/cables and retrofit?
(The Gobi 4000 will plug into the X300, I imagine the current X230T cable/antenna setup would fit in the X200T, dubious about chances of a current model drop-in cable/antenna setup for the X300)
If push came to shove I have a good supply of the micro sized coax, and could buy the ends if I knew what those 3 super tiny RF jacks on the M.2 cards were called.
Both machines have whitelist removed BIOs, needless to say.
