Don't look for one that has exactly what you need. Get a plate that has blank cutouts, and then buy the inserts that you want.

that would probably work, what is the plastic connector type called when I search for it?

To my knowledge, those wallplates and the plug-ins are usually called "keystone" connectors.

I've never had need to use one, but I believe that standard Display Ports are too big for standard Keystones, so people use a Display Port to Mini-Display Port connector. I think this is the correct type:

I think I might be better off just passing the cables through with a brush plate ... all these modules will be super expensive and I don't know if the displayport signal would get messed up by converting to mini

I appreciate the help though!
