What should I do?

So it's been happening ever since I built my PC. Didn't really matter because it didn't bother me. But as of now, the vibrations of my hard drive are wiggling my 24 pin connector out causing my pc to shut off which is really bad.

 

My 24 pin can not lock into my motherboard. it's not fully in. I tried using my full force to put it in, but it gets to the point where I might break my motherboard. 

 

I was intending to do an RMA, but it seems like its not the PSU's fault.

 

Is there anything I can/should do? It's been annoying me lately because the table is shaking with it so there's a lot more pc shut offs.

a hgst 1 tb hdd

Never heard of it. If what I suggested doesn't work I'd say just replace it. Can you try it out in a different case or drive bay?
