Why is my iPhone charger not plugging in fully?

It looks like there’s little tabs along the sides of the charging port that are stopping the cord from plugging in all the way, one side looks like it’s sticking out farther than the other, but neither one of them look nicely tucked in like a regular iPhone charging port looks

Plugging into the iPhone or plugging into the charger itself?
