You need to rotate your pc case if the VGA port isn’t vertical. The ground pins always need to be on top so all those grounding electrons weigh down the other conductors to make the data flow more quickly.

Uh no, the ground pins need to be at the bottom so they’re near the ground idiot

That's not true. VGA is a horizontal spec with the entire trapezoid housing being the ground contact. The data electrons to one side is due to the earth's axial tilt spinning them into a corner via healing crystals.
