Why the hell doesn’t my cool fancy new modular power supply work?

Hello lovelies for the first time in my life I’m upgrading my power supply from a 500W to 850W since this weekend I upgraded to a RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5 5600. All was well and I actually enjoyed some games with the 500W but for some reason when I swapped today my PC would not show any signs of life, just a click in the PSU when i press the power button, I swapped back to the old PSU and funnily enough everything seems to be working perfectly, or at least the bloody thing turns on.

Any idea what I’m missing? Did I receive a dead cool fancy new modular power supply? I basically used the same cable configuration as my old one

Motherboard is an A230M-A Pro and new PSU is corsair MWE 850 V2 if that helps?

Thanks :)
