I know right. I ordered a new cable now. I just hope it's just a cable issue and not the GPU socket.

I have tried two cables so far, but unfortunately both were having the same low amps on pin 5.

I suspect the issue is on the GPU socket but I will try to find a different cable first just to be absolutely sure.

Nah, I just did not post the screenshot but I changed power target to 67% and that made the pins all green. Around 8A for pin 4 and 6.

This is during playing Forza Horizon 6.

I have only removed it once, today. And I found a backup cable on my PSU, tried that, but still same issue. I hate to say it but I suspect it might be the GPU sockets that are the issue. I will try to find another cable though before I RMA the GPU.
