 Maybe that's it. One of the micro-HDMI ports is a noticeably tighter fit
than the other. However, the problem didn't seem tied to that port. It's
certainly true that modern, tiny connectors are much more frail than older,
larger styles. Micro-HDMI seems to be asking for trouble. Same for USB-C

Unless your Pi 4 or 5 with micro HDMI ports is going to be plugged in once and never touched again, I recommend getting one of the cases which bring out the video on full size HDMI ports. That will prevent the easily damaged micro connectors failing, particular if used with heavy adapters rather than micro HDMI cables.
