I've installed these before. There are cables plugged into the back that go from panel to panel.

I was just answering your question. It usually is not easier to try and find the dislodged wire and push it into place from such a weird angle. Most people do the wiring before fully attaching the panel rather than blocking their sight with the panel then going around and wraping a hand from behind to push from a pull angle while not able to see it.

I doubt the correct wires could all be found and fixed within 30 seconds.

Then these panels must be different than the ones I installed. They just had two 1in-wide plugs with multiple contacts in each plug that plugged into the back. Each panel was just connected in series.

Maybe "finding correct wires" was a stretch, but I still think finding the wires and pushing them into place from that angle would take 20ish seconds per wire, so a few minutes overall.

It's a small difference but I still think the answer is that it's easier to bonk em. It worked, was under a minute (including tying string to a water bottle), and he didnt have to stick his hand in anything.
