Like I said, I think that that whole thing about Conner's human DNA being the reason why he doesn't have other powers was just a lie that Luthor told him in order to get him to use the shields and to get control over him. The reason why Match was more powerful than Superboy was probably because he was actually older than Superboy, instead of younger like Luthor said (he was lying again). I'm pretty sure that Conner will eventually have all of his kryptonian abilities over time.
