This latch has to catch on this hook:

So yes, the cable is not connected properly at the moment.

Push in the cable on both sides, maybe with some on the other side of the motherboard - like a piece of cardboard - so you can apply force without bending the motherboard.

Yeah, you need to push harder until the retainer engages.

although it's not recommended, but you can try wiggling it left and right to get it in there

 

24-pin is very hard to plug in without wiggling, so make sure you support the back of your board

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Before using the brute force method, take a look inside both connectors to make sure nothing is bent.  I had a 8-pin pci cable extension that was not centered and would not go in until i straightened it.

Looks like it needed more force to get it in. Thank you all for help ❤
