XPS 8930, Issue with USB Type-A Ports on Front I/O Panel

I bought an XPS 8930 from Dell around two months ago.  Recently, I was plugging in a USB cable to one of the three USB Type-A ports on the front panel.  It was tough to plug in, so I tried the one next to it.  It was also tough.  I tried the last of the three and the same thing.  Finally, I shined my flashlight into the ports and found that all of them had been irreparably damaged.  The pins were pushed toward the the bottom of the socket.  I plugged the same USB cable into multiple other USB ports on another PC with no issues.  I went ahead and ordered a new front panel I/O module from Dell and installed it anout a week later.  Today, I tried to plug in a Bluetooth USB dongle and met that same resistance.  I tried another port and same thing.  I stopped trying before getting to the third port, as I remembered what had happened before.  Shined a flashlight into them and noted the pins were again showing signs of bending.  One of the damaged ports is still usable, but the other has one pin pushed down pretty far.  I have not tried to see if they are salvageable yet.  Again, I was able to plug this device, the Bluetooth USB dongle, into multiple USB ports on another PC with no issues.  I've NEVER had a similar sequence of issues on ANY other USB device in my life.  I'm thinking that there MUST be a defect with the manufacturing of these ports.  Perhaps the tolerances are too tight.  I've already spent an extra $50 on this PC fixing it from the first mishap, and I'm not looking forward to spending ANOTHER $50 fixing it again.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?
