I can conform on that there is a small gap b/t the port and cable when plug in (got mine today). They probably designed and put a shorter than normal female end.
And mine is working fine with the charger I been using on my phones/ other tablets with type C ala Belkin QC4 usb c to usb c, and just tested it working on some other chargers (Samsung w/ type a to c), and an anker battery bank with type a ports. So maybe just it doesn't work with a Macbook charger?
