Hello, I'm currently trying to build my second ever PC. My problem is that the 24-pin power cable from the PSU will not completely latch on to its designated spot on the motherboard. I have made sure it is properly orientated and that there is nothing inside the cable connectors both male and female ends and neither have any debris that would prevent the cable from going further. I have applied an extreme amount of force and wiggled and at this point the cable is now stuck, but not latched, in its port. Would you think it is okay for me to leave it this way especially with the gap only being about 2mm?
