Is it possible to merge 2 objects & keep a hole from one of them?

I'm trying to put a keystone jack https://www.printables.com/model/60732-simple-keystone-slot into a solid panel & trying to do it in slicer. Is there a good way to add the keystone jack to the panel & get the hole in the jack to get removed from the panel?

I can create a negative volume box & add it to the panel to create a hole, but stacking a negative volume & then another object on top is being problematic. Even if I could get it to subtract a hole from the panel then add the jack on top, getting things lined up is pretty janky.

The obvious answer is learn Fusion 360 & stop doing slicer hacks, but I've had enough success with just the slicer I keep avoiding that.

Rather than cutting the hole in the slicer, can you leave a gap in your panel where you want this to go, and add this as a part in that spot? Or is the panel someone else's model also?
