As mentioned by @nicrankin I have plugged directly after removing all the laptop covers and casings which I have used to protect the MacBook Pro from scratches and it worked perfectly. I guess sometimes casings/ covers do not allow the plug to properly fit it even there are enough spaces for USB-C ports. Thanks for all the feedbacks.

Macbook Pro 2016 Touchbar full working in very good condition. Backed up on Airport . Running Catalina since about 4 month. Yesterday updated to Catalina 10.15.4. During update I left and came back after about 45 minutes. Macbook was hanging with Apple sign during startup. Watching this for a few minutes decided to Hard Shutdown by pressing the Power Button. MBP started I could log in and I go the information that some program not working properly. Even I connected the Powercable I saw I have only 30% Power left. Ok decided to Restart. Couldnt boot anymore properly battery dropped and the housing/casing of the MBP became super hot. Got scared closed it (lid) and decided to keep the charger in (even dangerous) and try the next morning because it was late and I want to browse Online first about that issue. Tried this morning. No more response. Seems Battery fully drained. Charger not working, Spare Charger of Macbook (smaller one) (wife) not working. All 4 Ports not working. If I close the lid I can feel that the typical sign on the lid that power is there. As soon as I open the Lid no more. So my MBP is dead and 6 month ago my Iphone X died with Ghost touching and death Microphone and Speaker even Service told me that it was never open or became wet. All after Software updates. No need to call the service. 1st Covid 2nd will ask you terrible amount for nothing. Thanks Apple. Can only say. Since years it becomes worse.
