I've just finished my first pc build and when I plugged in the 24 pin atx into the motherboard it wouldn't clip to the socket. I can get it so that it only needs about a millimeter or two between the clip and the bit it clips on to but I've used quite a bit of force and it still won't clip on. I decided to try and turn it on like that but, as I guessed, nothing happened. Any ideas on what's happening?

I'm relatively new to pc so try and explain it in a way that won't be too complicated.

The psu is a corsair cx430 and the motherboard is an asus M5A97 LE R2.0
Thanks in advance

Apart from checking to make sure that you are placing the connector in the right orientation, as it will only fit in one way. Also check the connector, there may be a bent pin in there.

It is definitely the right way because I tried both ways and it will only work the right way and it doesn't look like there is a bent pin
