MODERATORS
Assuming you have a recent device which supports USB-PD, you can get USB-C cables that have a small display built in that tells you how much power the device is currently pulling, in watts. It won't help you validate your other cables, but will help you determine if the problem is really in the phone.
But your problem may be even easier to fix. Sometimes schmutz gets stuck in your USB-C port and prevents the cables from getting fully plugged in, or prevents the clips from engaging to keep the cable secure. Get a (plastic!) toothpick and use that to root around the port a bit, then use a can of air to clean it out.
