So, from reading on here I've found that the best (stability wise) way to make a reactor is through heat generation, however it seems as though I'm simply not bright enough to do that. So, I'm using a normal reactor setup as I'm in creative just trying to power a set of terraformers to make the job go quicker. It seems as though I can't connect any of the IC2 cables to the reactor. Am I missing something? In my older version of IC2 I was able to do this. I'm currently running build 733.
Reactor-Cable interactions?

Can you add/link a pic of your setup?
Fwiw, the new reactors are superior in terms of efficiency rather than stability. If anything, the new reactors are less stable (they're prone to more problems if you're not paying attention to your setup)
-
Try removing all the pressure thingies.

The redstone port is apparently like many blocks that will "transmit" a redstone signal. So the signal is reaching the reactor. You can test this by moving the redstone port one block to the left: I bet it won't power the reactor any more, even though hypothetically its a valid place for the port in the 5x5 multiblock.
However in all other respects, that is not a real multiblock. You won't be able to connect any infrastructure to the outside blocks and expect it to interract with the reactor. You'll need to (like SpwnX suggests) get rid of all the Pressure Vessel blocks and interact with the reactor directly.

Wrong, it does. You can put it anywhere apart from the outer frame. And even then you can put it there, it just doesn't do anything..
I tried replicating your bug, but the cables connect every time from any side. Don't remember anything happening in terms of cabling and reactors from 733 to 758 either.

Should warn you there's quite a few fluid regulator crashes with builds 752+.

That did fix it. Now updated to 758.

I don't know what that means so I'm going to assume I haven't gotten that far into the mod yet.

Doesn't matter now anyway, it's been fixed in 759.

You're telling me that if the multlblock is broken, the redstone ports will still work anywhere in the 3x3 pressure vessel wall? Because that's what I'm referring to in his image. -

Because that's what I'm referring to in his image.Just because something is a valid place in the multiblock, if the multiblock itself isn't completely build then it won't do anything (unless of course you're affecting it externally anyway like with redstone). I just presumed that the hole in the wall was to show that it had a reactor inside and not how it was being used.

Ok good, I wasn't wrong. Just a miscommunication. I get how the multiblocks work
Now I'm confused for a different reason as it sounds like he's forming the multiblock but trying to use it as a passive (non-fluid) reactor. But this is on me just for not following what's going on.
