"Click" is all we have to determine if it's seated, so I guess "Yes",
that's all there is. I'd try another cable. My experience with RJ-45's
is in large, tied bundles fanning out to a rack of routers or other
devices. Nothing moves, it's all tied down. In single lots, RJ-45's
leave a bit to be desired if there's any mechanical strain. They're
crimped, with a special tool. Some tools, like maybe what the ATT tech
carries are good and do a reliable job, others from you-know-where ...
maybe not so much.
I suppose it is possible that the jack is bad and not engaging the tab,
and is clicking just to mess with your mind. At the TV station I
worked at during college, we had to read and record the meters [~15 or
20] every 60 min. They were behind me when I was in the control room.
Late at night, I became convinced they all went to wrong values and
snapped to the right ones only when I picked up the clipboard to read
them. :-))
I'd try a new cable.

So, the only answer is the standard "make certain it clicks", which it
does?
