As title states.
I recently upgraded my PSU and GPU. While assembling today, me and my father couldn't get the 12V cable which came from the PSU box to get fully in to GPU. A little yellow part is still visible.
PC is currently working well but I'm worried because there is some cables that burnt due to not being fully in.
Both my father and I are not weak and he even tried harder than I expected but the cable just won't go in any further. We didn't hear the 'click' which should came from the lock but cable is not loose either. It's not coming out even If I hard pull it.
Is there anything I can do or should I just leave it like this?
How cable looks right now is attached.

you need to hear the click sound to secure the connector. How about turn the cable the other way around? switch PSu and VGA side?
