I’ve purchase many usb cords and sometimes it will accept a charge and other times it will not. Sometimes if I twist the cord, it will charge or hold it at an angle. I think there’s something going on with the usb port that needs to be replaced.

Do you fell a click when plugging in the lighting cable into the charging port. If yes it could be your cable, but if your bought new cables that eliminates a defective lighting cable. Second option which sounds to me you answered your own question is replace the charging port.
