Hide the first element.

I don't like this game, I feel like its rigged...

Definitely an interesting problem, especially considering how hard it can be to find hidden controls even when they are not within clusters. Unless there was an option in the cluster for hide/unhide all elements I'm not sure how you would go about handling this.

Right-click the cluster -> Advanced -> Show Hidden control -> Select the control

Double-click the cluster, Edit Menu -> Show Hidden Controls

Learning things all the time, The Right-click version works perfectly, the Double-click simply takes you from the terminal to the control and vice-versa. What version of of LV does this work in?

At least 2011 but I suspect it existed for a while.

There is now a front panel option (Tools->Options) to open the control editor with a double click.  If you have disabled this (it is the default choice), then you can double click instead of doing Advanced->Customize to get to the control editor.

Regardless of how you get there, inside the edit menu of the control editor is the option to unhide controls.
