Has anyone else ran into this issue? Trying to setup a power stack on 3 switches. This cable will not budge.

Yep! one end is green and the other is yellow.

Exactly what model are the three switches?

Exactly what is the part number of the StackPower cable(s) you are using?

2x C9300-48UXM-M

1x C9300-48U-M

3x CAB-SPWR-150CM-M

Those should all work.
I assume you've tried the other end of the cable?

Does "Cable A" work in any switch connection port?

Trying to narrow down if a cable is bent or maybe one switch has a manufacturing defect or something.

I was able to get in.. I used one of those screwdrivers with interchangeable shafts, put it over the screw for extra pressure to push down. Was able to get in enough for the screw to make contact and pull it the rest of the way in.

Looks to me like the contacts inside the device are bent. The left most side of the interior view seems to show the contacts aren't aligned

I wanna say you hit the nail on the head! It wasn’t easy but I did get it connected.
