Check for fuzz or debris stuck in the Lightning socket, and carefully remove any found.
If that fails, try a different USB to Lightning cable and see if that works, and try the cable you’re using with a different iPhone and see if it works there.

Are you using a USB Lightning cable, or a Qi or Magsafe charger to charge the iPhone? What part of all that is position-sensitive?
What have you already tried? Different USB cable, different power source, different outlet, different Qi charger, different iPhone case?
Yes, i plug my phone in (to the charger that came with my iphone that i got in may 2021) and it’s doesn’t show it’s charging, but if i pull it a little back it charges but as soon as i let go it stops charging.
If you can’t or don’t want to take the iPhone in for a look, I usually use a tine from a plastic fork, a piece of a plastic barrette, or a wooden toothpick. Something that’s a little bendy, and not metal. Gently dig it out. Fuzz or lint is usually not wedged or adhered in there.
Hello ~ You may want to take your iPhone in and let them take a look rather than trying to do that yourself. Take a look here:
