It only goes in one way, if it wont go in its backwards or the wrong plug.

Thats The problem the only way it will go in it only goes in half like theres something stopping it or something i even tried other ways and it didnt go in at all.

Sorry only kidding. road is right, there is only one way. Look at the plug and the slots. Unless there is something that has got down in there.

Ok let me try to explain it better i know it only goes in one way, and it seems to go in then like it doesnt wont to go all the way in and i checked to see if it was cloghed or something but its not and like i said any other way I try to put it in it wont go in at all.

Check the pins to make sure they are all straight and line up properly with the female connector on the PSU. Check the female side as well to ensure they are lining up.

Ok as im looking in the Atx poer supplty connector some of the pins are a little off like they are bent to the side what should I use to striaghtin them out

Get something that fits into the hole and gently move the ones that appear to not be lining up.

There is a little latch that keeps the connector from coming loose. When you push the connector in, it should be wedged open. When the connector is all the way in, it closes a bit to secure the connector to the mobo. If that little latch can't open, it will stop the connector about half way in. Is this your problem?

Nope it didnt it has something do with a manufacturing problem or something the pins inside the connector do not want to go in but they match the holes perfectly but dont want to go down all the way
