You might need to get a different cable.

Many tablets have multiple USB posrt, the big one is probably to hook up a usb drive to it, where's the usb port you use for changing? And yes, what kind of tablet is it?

ahh that sucks man. i didn't know the tab3 had the microUSB plug on the long edge. and you cannot just rotate it, as the top of the mounting bracket on the RC has no hole at all. Can you hold the tablet off-center a tad so that the plug is off to the side of the mount so you can use that?  If not, I'd personally look to modify mine, cut a hole big enough for it to get through. not sure what other options. keep us posted though!

oh i got it! looking at the image on my cell made me think the butto was a big usb port! U could try to mount your tab offcenter perhaps? Or put something below the bottom edge, where you can route a cable through... I would not modify the radio.... but I am sure you could probably even use a bit eraser, that you partially hollow out so you can rout the cable through it perhaps?

Just place your tablet a bit more to the right or to the left, it will still be stable and you will be able to put your cable in.

The reason there is a slot in the holder is not so you can pass a cable through it.  It is so you can fold the mount flat against the controller for storage/transport.    Your display has an unfortunate placement for the microUSB slot.  Aside from changing displays, or mounting it off center there isn't much you can do apart from perhaps drilling a hole in the slot to make a wide gap for the cable.

If there is enough room, you might be able to fit a right angle adapter to the socket so you can attach a cable from the side.  e.g.

You will have to pack the side of the display so the mount can squeeze against the packing and not the adaptor as the socket is quite fragile.

I shaved the rubber on either side of my cable on another project I was working on, to get it to fit through a small hole, something similar to your predicament. You got to do it little at a time and carefully.
Good luck

Even easier, without an adapter, just mount it like this with a pair of rubber blocks either side of the cable.  Your device is only 124mm wide so there's plenty of room in the mount.
