Case power button stuck

So I got my case, built the computer, turned it on, happy that it turned on, I realized I forgot the optical drive. I then proceeded to turn it off, only to see, that the button was stuck in the case, it wasnt causing it to stay on, or stay off, I just have to push way too hard for my own comfort on that power button for it to turn on. I learned that to install the optical drive you have to take off the front bezel, (wierd but eh) it was there I learned, there was a power button extension, on the actual lead itself. If I click the extension in, sort of like a detonator it turns on just fine. Any help?

Open up the top panel, and reset the connection. IMO dont use Zalman, meh cases. Use Corsair, Fractal Design or Phanteks
