I need to point out that those retention clips will work fine when you
are connecting two APP in-line connectors together, however, they cannot
be fitted to the K3/K3S APP connector because the "retainer pin" hole is
not accessible at the K3/K3S end. They are fine for connecting one APP
cable to another, but in practice, I have not found them necessary.
Properly assembled APP connectors will have a significant pullout force
requirement. Pay attention to those who state they can move the K3 by
pulling on the cable - those folks have properly assembled APP connectors.

If yours cannot do that, investigate the construction of your APP
connectors.
