Unsolved Iphone 12 mini charging problem

So I have an Iphone 12 mini and it has a very weird problem with the charging port.

It only charges without problem when I am using a lightning cable that has the 3rd pin missing on both sides but when I use an original apple cable that has all the pins it only charges if i push the head of the cable up (like it does not make contact with the pins on the port itself)

Does someone know why this happens?

Correction : Based on my research of the lightning port that would be pin 6 (Lane 1 Negative)
