2020 GTI usb-c swap

Hello, I just made an account to find out more about this.
I have a 2019 GTI mk7.5, which should have identical wiring to the 2020.
My USB connection was intermittently disconnecting, very likely because the plastic tab inside the USB port broke off.

I was hoping to upgrade to USB-C so I got this part # 3G5035726B.
For reference here is the original USB port # 5Q0035726E.

The only difference was a small tab on the plug that I clipped off so it fit. However as @branman1 found out, this isn't good enough.

I'd really like to see the wiring diagram for both so I can rig something up!
Here are photos of both parts:

It's not a wiring difference. Your MIB doesn't have the negotiation chipset required.
