[PS4] How to remove internal psu power cable? Can you remove it from the motherboard side? It won't budge at all (PS4 CUH1116a)

I really want to clean my ps4's heatsink because i'm pretty sure all the dust is on the fan side of the heat sink. It's annoying the hell out of me that i'm only one step away from cleaning it but the cable won't budge at all and probably end up breaking it. If nobody has any answers can you please direct me to someone who can answer it, thank you and please.

[PS4] Can you blow compressed air into connected ps4 psu?

I'm doing some deep cleaning for my ps4 and i've unscrewed the psu but i'm afraid to unplug the internal power cable that is connected to it. I think ill end up breaking/ruining it if I do that, is it still okay to blow compressed air into the psu with the power cable still being connected? I'm also wondering if other people who have cleaned their ps4 have found barely any dust on their fans and have found dust heavly elsewhere in the ps4? I'm just wondering if i'm doing good job of cleaning it properly.

Doing some research on what type of thermal paste to get for ps4, looking for endurance and performance. I know most thermal paste would be best but it's hard to find something that would suit a console for a long while.

Currently looking at these

Arctic MX-6

Arctic MX-4

Thermal grizzly duronaut (Can't find ""hydronaut"")

Also looking at thermal pads, Thermal grizzly minus pad 8 1mm

Any help would be useful, thank you.
