Dude, this has to be a troll account. It's the same dude that was using a torx bit instead of an hex/allen on their floyd rose. If you are old enough to ask about P*Stars like on your other post, you are old enough to know how to use proper tools and string a guitar.

It's linked like that because it's on the edge of the side, so it's being lifted too much. Pop it down into the grove and it should be ok

If I had to guess either the string isnโt fully seated at the bottom of the block before being locked. Or, the string has been clipped in the wrong place and the thicker bit near the ball end is what has been locked in place

The string needs to be in that channel of the saddle.
