How to use multipoint connector?

[Jokurr]

So I've been trying to build my first space station and one part I would like to use is the multipoint connector so I can dock multiple ships and potentially add to the station at a later date. I don't have any trouble connecting docking ports to the top and bottom of the object, but when I try to add a docking port to any of the 4 ports on the side of the object it won't work and won't let me connect anything. Is there a trick to this? Not sure if I'm missing something, if it's a bug, or just really finicky. Help is appreciated.

Are you rotating the docking ports when you are trying to attach them?

When holding the docking ports, press WASDQE to rotate the port so that it lines up with the connection points on the multipoint connector.

Ahhh, I had no idea you could rotate parts like that. That definitely makes my life much easier, not only for this but for many other spacecrafts I've built!! Thank you!
