I think Sas uses the same blue plug, he just uses it upside down

OEPS! The secret is out

The pins are hold in the slots by the grommets,they are not locked. They will move up out of the plug but once joined the pins will stay in the sockket causse the pins are bigger then the hole.

Well seen demonisation, at least one good observant
