They should be quite firmly connected, like mine I can swing around on the cable and they won't come off. It is a recessed 2 pin connector and takes a bit of force to get them all the way in, the plastic bit (before the 2 pins) should actually go INTO the recess on the IEM and it takes a bit of force to do that. It sounds like you might not have pushed it in all the way. Maybe post a photo.
Pretty sure most of what looks uneven is just measurement artifacts, some people just want to affirm what they see on a graph. To me the treble is smooth and articulate, I verified this with other Lan owners that compared the treble to Aria, Olina SE, Z300. All sets with inoffensive treble. The only fault to me is the lean bass. But, I use EQ with everything and this gets a 3dB boost under 200Hz. I don't like to use them outside because the small shells move a fair bit in my ears.
To verify that your personal eardrum response corresponds you can carry out some listening tests, using synthetic signals, like a sine sweep, and and real music. Each has an EQ corrected and a uncorrected version, which you are tasked to identify blindly using ABX software. I didn't bother doing this myself because I didn't hear anything objectionable in the stock treble. I say this as someone that considers myself treble sensitive. But if you go down this route I will happily assist with reproducing your results.
This is not a matter of "personal eardrum response". This is just a characteristic of the iem.
I've evaluated filters that correct for measured treble discontinuity like the you showed here. I Also created filters that mimick the measured treble discontinuities, so I can model them on linear devices like my JBL LSR305 monitors. The Lan sounds nothing like that. Basically I've done more than you as far as verifying the eardrum response, so there are no grounds for me to change my position. So far I'm ignoring that you are referencing an arbitrary target, and no established metric deals with <10kHz.This is not a matter of "personal eardrum response". This is just a characteristic of the iem.

I don't find them all that different. (in reference to Anechoic Flat speakers in a room with Harman Curve bass)
Yes, I know all the theory about this . I have made and used good directivity speakers. Im my opinion, the stereo system flaws are much deeper than just fixing the directivity of a loudspeaker. To create a spatial illusion of the real event one must go some steps further .
In my experience there are no "stereo system flaws" when playing 2 channel music, and to describe them as "deep" also seems an exaggeration. In terms of UMIK measurements and listening experience I really don't see/experience any "flaws" in a stereo system playing back 2 channel music. In my experience it creates a wide & smooth soundstage that extends between the speakers and even out beyond the sides of the speakers, the speakers just disappear, it doesn't even sound like the music is coming from the point source of the speakers. Also there is no "real event" when it comes to music, it's a fabrication put together by the artist and engineers, so it's more an "imagined event" that is created by the artist & engineers through 2-channel, it's an artistic (re)creation.
You are writing that there are no stereo system flaws. This is a false statement.
Ok, then instead you're talking about the limitations of 2 channel recording, not the limitations of a 2-channel playback system per say. To be honest I'm fine with that, I'm not particularly interested in completely capturing an orchestral concerthall experience, which I imagine in reality might sound a bit rubbish in some seats anyway. I think 2 channel content created by all the many musicians/artists/bands out there is a very good medium in itself.
