Power Cable Question...

My first post on Audiogon, thanks for any input. Just got the PS Audio Trio C100 amp and a Cambridge entry level cdp. Today I wanted to upgrade the stock power cables. I've tried plugging in 3 different models, PS Audio Jewel/PW AC-3/Pangea all 3 I can't get plugged in to either component. The force needed to set the plugs in flush on the units have me scared of actually breaking something. Is it the models I have? Or am I missing something?
Forgive any newbie mistakes, this is my first attempt at putting together a "hi-fi". If anyone knows of a relatively cheap Power Cord that would easily plug into these two units please advise. Thanks.

would it be ok to use lube like WD40 on the prongs?
I wouldn't!

I suggest you pull each piece of equipment out where you can get a good visual look as to exactly what is going on when you try to insert the IEC connector into the IEC plug on the equipment. Is it the contacts, or is it the fit of the two bodies of the IEC connectors causing the tight fit.

To be honest most guys would love a tight fit of their IEC connectors.......
