* One of the general selling points of USB-C plug is that supposedly there is no way to incorrectly insert it.
Reality is a bit more complicated when it comes to USB 2.0 compatibility in USB-C. In some situations only one orientation of the USB-C plug will work.
The reason for this behavior is simple: although the USB-C plug has only a single pair of data lines (D+/-) for USB 2.0 connectivity, the receptor duplicates these on either side of its pins, leading out two pairs of D+/- lines. Normally you would connect the matching lines in these pairs together to ensure consistent behavior no matter the plug orientation, but you don’t have to.
In the end, it is not a faulty cable/connector, but a quirky implementation in some situations.
One should just turn around cable/connector/plug until it works and leave it plugged that way.
