I've got a Corsair 750w AX, thankfully I figured out there's nothing wrong with the actual PSU but..

The PSU doesn't power on when a mains power cable is pushed all the way into the PSU mains. The PSU only powers on when the cable is loose and pulled out slightly.

This causes random and daily short-outs, where my PC will cut out and I'll have to adjust the mains cable to power back on.

Its quite a simple issue, but after trying 8 different mains cables I'm wondering what I can do.

Does anyone know of any specialist mains cables I can buy that have clips to hold them in place or something?

Electrical tape doesn't seem to work, as the mains cable only needs to adjust slightly for it to cut power..

I would go ahead and RMA the PSU to Corsair since the problem is not the cable it is in the plug on the PSU!
