The part is different. Why don't you use the correct parts here. IFIXIT has it as well as others.

21.5" - 2.5" HD

  • SATA Cable P/N: 923-0283
  • Power Cable P/N: 923-0282

27" - 3.5" HD

  • HD & Power Cable Assembly: 923-0312

Both cable sets are for the Late 2012 models. As far as I know the newer 5K Retina model uses the same cable. Which you can see here: 27" 5K Retina 3.5" drive Vs the 21.5" 2.5" drive.

not really what i asked so by the answer you've not tried this instead you want me to buy another part when mine could work? you say its different but have you actually pulled a cable from a 21" iMac and tried yourself? i guess theres only one way to find out

The part numbers are different and just by looking it doesn't look the same. True I haven't tried putting in the wrong part in, as I don't try force fitting things. Why don't you return it and get the correct part?
