I purchased the above product earlier this week only to find it will not work with my ROKU/ONN TV due to positioning of the HDMI ports. TV serial number YN006N530694. Is there an alternative product that will work with this TV? I've owned this TV less than a year now.

Roku Streaming Stick models are equipped with a male HDMI plug to connect directly into the HDMI port on the TV -- no connecting HDMI cable is required.
In the event your TV is not physically configured to allow this, you may use an HDMI extension cord to move your Streaming Stick to a more convenient location. This is also recommended in cases where signal leakage from the TV interferes with wifi reception by a Streaming Stick that near to the TV.
Roku offers a free short HDMI extension you can request here: https://my.roku.com/hdmi. (This offer is for owners of Roku "Streaming Stick" models only, verified by the serial number of your unit.)
There is nothing special about the Roku HDMI extension, it's just a short (4 inches or so) HDMI cord with an HDMI plug at one end and an HDMI socket at the other. I have used a non-Roku one several feet long to locate my Streaming Stick in an equipment closet on the other side of the wall from my TV. You may be able to find an HDMI extension locally and not have to wait for someone to ship it to you.
Alternately, you can make your own HDMI extension by connecting a standard male-to-male HDMI cord to a female-female HDMI connector.
Thank you I will certainly look into these options.
