> your test jigs are almost certainly

Why assume that? Why not be humble and just ask the person with first hand knowledge instead of basically attacking their setup based on guessing?

Because you can search for what connector testing machines look like, and they all look like they'll just destroy the connector if it isn't aligned correctly.

This is true. A test system will only apply force from one or more predefined directions. A user, on the other side will not take care that he inserts the connector at 45 degrees +/- 3 degrees.
