When it’s available, go for the Micro-C USB connector. It’s symmetrical, and also much faster. A lot less expensive than the Apple Thunderbolt connector / cable pair as well.
These are called “learning connectors”. Trying them both ways allows them to adapt to the style of connector required. This is magical innovation at the highest level.

Been there, done that, got a T-shirt.
Also, isn’t amazing that when searching for something, it is always in the last place you look? ; )

Tell me about it!! And you share doing this when you can’t even see the port because it is in a spot that is almost impossible to see or reach.

The guy that invented the USB died recently. They lowered him into the grave, pulled him out, turned him around & lowered him back in.
