While one pin is larger than the other, the difference is minuscule so it really doesn’t take much “force” at all. Took a lot more to remove the original cable tbh

Guess I would’ve benefitted from further idiot proofing like different shaped bases at the pins or color coding lol. I’m sure I’m in the very small minority tho

Thanks for the responses all! Sounds like no harm done but will be more careful in the future
