^ definitely not the 6 pin first , the tabs on the 2 pin sit below the 6 pin from the pictures.

What psu is this ??

Have you tried the other suggestion , slot the 2 together first then plug them in as a single unit.
Sometimes the plugs are tapered on the sides meaning you can't slot one in before the other.


I tried doing that mate but on the opposite side the pattern is change and it wont plug in at all this way it sits in perfectly but it stuck like in the picture change places of 2 pin or 6pin both wont plug in at all the only way they plug is like shown in the picture but stuck

Do i need to change psu?

THANKS ALOT MATE that did the trick putting them both together at same time i think it wouldnt clip together thats why it was causing that THANKS ONCE AGAIN MATE

and btw what do you think of 750w RMX corsair?
 


THANKS TO U TOO MATE
for suggesting and it did the trick bro thanks alot but the problem was it wouldnt lock together thats why
but i put both of pins 6pin and 2pin at same time while holding it together and plugged in successfully
 
RMx ?? One of the top 5 when it comes to quality.
If you'd said psu model first I'd have told you tk a lot them together before plugging in, all corsair 6+2 pins are tapered (2 pin is slightly wider at the top)

Good stuff though , you're massively overspecced on that 750w, the 450 would have done the job.
 


I am thinking of buying 750w RMX cause i have an old one Thermaltake litepower 600w

I am thinking of using 2 cards in future so i thought i change my psu too
