I started my build and the liquid cooler of the build is a h100i

I found a problem during unboxing is that the SATA power cable can be stretched In and out about half a centimetre from the cooler. Is this normal? Or is the SATA is disconnected from the cooler?

It would be helpful to know the answer as soon as possible. thanks

if it works don't fiddle with it. it is not supposed to be moved, but it being loose is a possibility. you will know if it is disconnected if you plug it in and the pump does not work (i suggest booting into the bios and giving it a good listen, as if it is at least properly secured, your cpu will not overheat

Update:
Sorry, I changed my first answer as it was wrong. Oddly the Corsair H100i site doesn't mention the SATA cable that I could see...

There is an install guide here, not sure if that helps:

*From what I can see, the POWER connector should slide in firmly similar so I don't know what is being "stretched"; if you try to insert the plug and the connector isn't firmly mounted it would move backwards but as long as the power cable is fully seated it should still work provided there's no issue elsewhere.

I realize that now, but unfortunately I was using a different cooler as a reference and it uses the FAN connectors to power the pump and didn't see SATA mentioned at all on the main page.

Regardless, just ignore my first comment.
