Ive been trying to get the 24 pin cable to go into my motherboard but it wont fit. The latch seems to be a few mm's away from actually clicking in, so what do i do?

is it a faulty cable or am i doing something wrong?

Push harder. Its hard.

What @spwath said. If you don't feel like utterly bending your motherboard beyond its standoffs, take it out of the cause and put in the 24pin first.

i have the RM650 and it definitely the right way

Its just an issue with the RM series. I have an RM650 myself, and the 24pin atx and 8pin cpu connectors are both tough to get in and out.
