I figured that much, and that is why I was not able to provide a port-layout.rtf yet.
In the past, I noticed that the physical port numbers (Asus motherboard) and Mac OS port numbers (under IOReg) were not matching. The Mac OS layout was even different when I changed from Yosemite to El Capitan (HS and SS were different). I think the ASUS board layout is standard, but MacOS is not giving the same order as Asus when it assigns the ports. I think it is correct under Windows ; I will definitely have to check that.
However, my IOReg layout is consistent over time within each Mac OS version, so it is not random at each boot, and I am sure that Mojave on any Asus X99-DELUXE would have the same layout (what matters for us to produce the kext injector).
We know that there is at least one internal USB2 port, the one for the Broadcom bluetooth (HS06 for Mojave IOReg).
It seems logical that there would another internal USB2 port, but I don't know as of now if it is unused or connected to a device invisible from Mac OS (not showing under IOReg).
Then there are the 4 USB2 ports (the 2 10-1 connectors USB 1112 and 1314 on the motherboard) that I don't know about yet as I am unable to test them now. I will have to find the correct tool (like the one you mentionned) or find if I have something else in my drawers to connect there or make something (I do some electronics). It is all about making the time for me as I am not often using this computer. As soon as I learn more, I will keep you and the readers of this thread updated.
Thank you again for your patience.
The USB2.0 slot cover should be cheap and easy to purchase. In fact that's all you are missing.
Thanks for your excellent collaboration, which I really appreciate !
