Try to flip the plug on the motherboard.

Been using round cables on my floppies for over two years. You need to look at the numbers on the wires and match them with the connector. Not all floppies have notch receptacles - but clearly, your needs reversing.

Good suggestion above - file the notch nub off of the plug. Then paint it and the receptacle so they will always ,ate correctly.
