Not a stupid question. There aren’t any here. I am sorry I implied that.

My OMG was more of a ‘here we go again’ as the issue of IEC fittings has come up quite a few times and there never seems to be a good answer. Engineering specs always say the female and male portions should fit perfectly but it seems highly dependent on the chord and the equipment and the location.

There are no ‘pat’ answers. IMHO if you are otherwise happy with your power chord don’t go hunting for better fitting chords. It could be an expensive life long endeavor.

Try prying a toothpick into the socket to better wedge the chord in.

Try supporting the chord somehow - from underneath, with zip ties from above etc.

Good luck
