New build - IR sensor not detecting filament

After initial build, my IR sensor was not detecting filament.  Following the inspection instructions, this is what I see...

 

The link below should be a video, I was getting errors linking a YouTube

Prusa IR

I'll keep digging but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
 
Thanks

Fixed.  I thought that insert that was added to the einsey board prevented the inaccurate insertion of the connector but it doesn't  I had it plugged into the top row of pins instead of the bottom row.

 

Was that orange insert supposed to prevent that mistake?

Use the orange frame if MMU2S is connected:

MK3S/MMU2S:
