Make and model of your PSU and it's age? If you don't have a native 12V-2x6 connector stemming from your PSU, you can work with the adapter that's bundled with your RTX5090.
Not sure what cable it is but i can find out.
Might want to pass on images of the cable used by said builder.
Should i replace this as i have now disturbed the connector?
Thumb rule, ask first then go do.

JTC recently put out a video showing that his 12V-2X6 cable actually had better contact after a few reinsertions, but each cable will be different. It could be that you get a new cable and have issues with it, when the old cable would’ve been fine.
The 12VHPWR (and 12V-2X6) are faulty designs - plain and simple, but, if you have the older 12VHPWR it may be better to get a certified 12V-2X6 cable instead. Also, examine the connector end to look for pin receptacles that are recessed further than the others as this could cause contact issues. Good luck!

The 12V-2X6 connector standard is brand new. It's an ATX 3.1 spec.
If Corsair makes a 12V-2X6 cable to replace your current 12VHPWR, and Corsair says it is fully compatible with your AX 1600i, I would definitely consider getting it.
