Expensive mistake?

Hi,

 

I have a Corsair AX1200i power supply. When i tried to connect the right part of the 24 pin connector on the PSU for the motherboard it seemed that there was a condensator blocking the way for the clip that holds the connector in place.

I did not used that much force when it struggled to get the connector in there but now i can see i dint the condensator with the pin of that connector (who the **** would think there would be a condensator in the way right..)

It happened when i was building my new system and now sometimes my pc just shuts off and sometimes it wont start (short start with an almost insta shutdown).

 

Could it be that the condensator is to much damaged let alone couse for these problems? It is not the temps or windows etc.. i had the pc shut down while i was in the bios lol.

You said that you can see that the capacitor is "dented"?

Yes, when i look straight at the connector where the pin needs to go i see the capacitor is dented.

Do you maybe have some pictures? 
Also, how long ago did you build this PC?

I posted a picture above although it might not be that clear i'm afraid. This build is from February this year, so everything is as good as new
