[SOLVED] 8 pin Pixie connectors for Corsair RM 850x do not fit

I have a RTX 3060 card and am trying to connect the PCIe 6+2 connectors to my power supply. I purchased the premium cables from Corsair.

However, only the 6 pin fits. The cables have a slider that you pull up to group all 8 pins together but the two that are separated will not go in.

I checked to ensure they were properly aligned. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you are installing it backwards? The 6+2 pin should go to the GPU. Corsair end should be a solid 8-pin connector for an RM850x.

Are you sure you purchased the proper cable set for an RM850x?
