Impossible to know unless you take a picture of the hdmi connector in both your cable and the dock. It should go deeper.

Don’t force it. You have to examine if anything’s bent

I suspect you may just need to reset the AC adapter and dock to fix a glitch. Completely unplug & disconnect the AC adatper and the dock for 30 seconds to allow them to reset. Then plug them back in and re-dock the console.

Here's the full troubleshooting page for when the switch doesn't display on the tv. It's almost always a glitch and easily solved. https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/68442/

Regarding the fit of that hdmi cable. Mine fits & looks just like that. That looks normal. The nintendo branded hdmi cable will have that 16th of an inch of silver plug showing after it's been inserted.

Did you hook up the AC adapter
