Hi

Sorry if this has been covered before (I did search the list but could not find anything), but I cannot for the life of me get the fan power connector on the 3 pin prong on the power supply module.  

The pins were a bit bent when I got the unit but I straightned them carefully.  The connector stops about two thirds of the way down the pins.  It seems there is something in the connector itself stopping them going any further as the connector socket not used goes all the way down easily.

The picture in the assembly manual suggests the connector should go all the way to the bottom so if anyone has any suggestions I would appeciate it.
