How do you fit Zigbee and ZWave USB dongles into the USB ports? Too big

I have 4 ports on my Odroid N2+. Keyboard, mouse, and two dongles. The dongles are so wide, there is no way I can fit all devices into the ports. What do people do in this situation?

USB extension cables are recommended not just to make these devices fit but also for EMI reduction and better signal propagation.

USB3 is particularly bad in regards to EMI (pdf link) for Zigbee and wifi.

The higher up and further from metal objects that you can get the dongle’s antennas the better. High quality shielded cables are recommended.
