PLEASE FOLLOW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION
Some iMacs are shipping with an issue where the logic board partially comes loose resulting in USB-C cables not being able to make a full connection to the computer. The guide below is for those experiencing this issue, however it is not a fix to re-secure the logic board it only allows access to the USB-C ports.
- Unplug the iMac from all power sources.
- Make sure you can fully see the ports located on the back of your iMac unplugging all connected cords.
- Insert the USB-C able into the port and lightly push the cable up and down resulting in enough pressure to pull the logic board back into place.
- You should audibly hear a click when the logic board goes back in place, and you should be able to see the ports move within the computer.
- Attempt to plug in the USB-C device again and you should have a solid connection this time allowing for use of the ports!

Now it's time for the fun part. Testing it out to make sure it works! Plug the power supply back into the computer and boot into Mac OS.
