The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2014 Jeep Patriot.
I recommend first making sure that you have found the correct block location for installing the cartridge heater. For your Jeep Patriot, you will need to install it in the Front Left (FL) location of the block. You can take a look at the image I have attached to see exactly where this is.
Next, make sure you clean the port of any debris before installing the cartridge, as it may lead to the heater not seating correctly in your engine block. This might be what is causing it not go install all the way.
If you are still unable to resolve the issue, please let me know and I will be happy to look into this further.
