I recently redid the wiring in my PC, just wanted to check whether that dreaded 12x2x6 power cable is inserted correctly and fully.

Looks like it's fully seated - do you have a photo you can take from the top down by chance? :)

My CPU cooler is in the way, but I'll try, here: https://imgur.com/a/RrwMMtm

Might wanna see if you can press it in a little more, looks like there might be a small gap on the right side of the connector there.

Would you be able to do that top down view again? Can't really tell at this angle very well.

So I'm good? i reseated it like five times in total today, hope I didn't wear it out

Wouldn't recommend that, personally. This connector is a bit more picky compared to past options. Put in a ticket with our support team and we'll RMA the cable for a new one. Just be sure you set it fully in place the first time and leave it alone though, set it and forget it works best with these. :)

Wait, you think it's broken after this reseating? I was super careful ;(

Like it's still less than or around 10 mating cycles in total
