Well...you posted this in the wrong forum, for starters. OS Neighborhood? Try Non-Sports Gaming. Don't worry. I'll move it.

Ok here's the deal with those cables and connectors. If you look down at the connector it pulls apart i.e. opens. The best example I could give you is that of a garage door. You have to open it so you can bring your car in. That's the way the cable/connector works. Without opening or releasing the connector you won't be able to get the cable in the connector. Keep in mind they open slightly, enough for the cable to fit. Then you'll close the connector.

Connectors release or open in different ways. The best way to figure out which way it releases is to use a magnifying glass because they are hard to see. These are split connectors meaning they separate or open in halves. Either it opens from pulling the front part slighty up or slighty away from the connector.

This is where the magnifying glass comes in handy cause you'll see the split in the connector much easier. When inserting the cable make sure it's seated correctly.

Hope this helps.
