David, While I wouldn't call it a "click", I do feel a definite resistance when connecting my K3 power pole that lessens after fully inserting the plug, making it feel like a "grab". I move the radio quite a bit while installing all 16 cables after a disconnect; the APP is the 4th connection made while the K3 sits on its left side. The APP stays in place and will only pull out with a definite tug on the cable.
Perhaps your cable assembly has problems.
