12V Sockets Not Always Working

Have had a problem with both centre console sockets for a few weeks now where any USB charger inserted only works when rotated some degrees. It is as if the contacts ok the charger aren't getting a connection at some points. Also if the lift out even just a little the connection is cut.

It does this with any power supply inserted.

Any ideas? I'm a bit stumped. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

I could do, yes, but as I say, I have 3 different chargers all of different brands/designs and each has a light to show it is getting power. All behave the same way. So unlikely to be the chargers. Learned to drive in 2011.

It's the plug in the car then I would say.
