ROG Asus Astral 5090 LC - Magnetic Fan Connector does not say seated properly

I bought a 5090 LC back in March. Then one day I noticed the fan lights on the Rad were not showing. I thought maybe it was an issue with ArmouryCrate (checked and they werent even showing). I then thought maybe the USB header they connected into might be busted so I went to swap the fans when I just touched the connector slightly to even remove it, it pushed in and the lights came back and the fans started spinning. Now I have realised the Magnetic 4 pin connector does not stay seated correctly and keeps pushing itself out. 

Does anything have a suggestion or fix for this, as sometimes it stays seated, sometimes the lights come on but the rad fans dont spin (which is a bigger issue) and sometimes it doesnt work all together unless I apply pressure or use tape to hold it in (even this only works some of the time).

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Kind of sucks when you spend so much on a card they use a stupid connector like that - but oh well).

Here is a fix but use double sided strong duty tape and add stack 4 pieces so pressure would be holding connector in place. You can see in picture what i did.
