Building my first PC went smoothly until this step. The connector reached its limit, and pushing further could damage my hands. I wondered if it's safe to leave the connection like this (the part isn't even touching anything)? The PC still boots up properly.
Power supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 750W
Motherboard: MSI Pro B650-S Wifi
Any advice or tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

It's very risky. Please ask your reliable friend for assistance.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
You just need to push it while wiggling to get the connector to get fully seated in it. Novice builders will say the same thing as you with the same amount of concern but all you need to do is push it in.
