Hey, I'm building my first PC and everything was going great until this guy needed to be connected. The connector won't go any further down, and if I keep trying to push it harder my hands will end up tearing.

Wanted to ask if is "dangerous" to leave the connection like this (the little thing is not even clipping btw)? The PC atleast boots fine.

PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 750W
MOBO: MSI Pro B650-S Wifi

Any help/tips are welcome, thanks!

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You just need to push it while wiggling to get the connector to get fully seated in it. Novice builders will say the same thing as you with the same amount of concern but all you need to do is push it in.
