I am talking about the blue end pictured below. If you wiggle it a little it moves, is there anyway to make the connection more solid to the PSU?
I noticed that one of the modular cables was at a slight angle and the cable was a little hotter than the other one.

Well a not code way that should work is get a thin copper wire strand 28 or awg maybe 30 awg fold it into a u shape put it in the female sockets of the loose connection.
not code and could be done wrong causing a short. but if done correctly it would be safe.
before you do it check all sockets for melting check all rods for melting.
I will try to photo what I mean.
check for melting
no melting in this psu

here is the hard part copper wire this one is 24awg and it is too fat but it was handy for demo

one wire in one socket now the row of four are all the same so do the row of four sockets
and the row of 3 are all the same do the row of 3 sockets
when you do this no loose wire from row of 3 can touch row of 4 or short
same as no wire from row of 4 can not touch row of 3.
this is why this fix is not code but it works if done correctly.
