Sounds as though the fitting of the plug has not been completed fully.On these plugs, after the wires are connected, and the pin section pushed inside the outer case, to lock it all in position, the pin section must be rotated clockwise. When buying a new 13pin plug, it usually comes with a special "cap" (usually Green in colour) for this purpose, but since you probably don't have one of them, the only solution is to hold the plug in one hand, and with a blunt chisel or flat-bladed screwdriver, push clockwise on the lug that is within the pin section, and you will discover it "locks" into place. From memory, it will turn about 45 degrees, and takes quite a bit of force.
Once completed, you'll find that the pins/cable cannot be rotated by hand.
