CanoScan LiDE 400 The USB cable that came with my scanner doesn't plug into my scanner!

I'm a pretty tech-savvy guy, been plugging in things since the days of SCSI. lol
But this brand new CanoScan LiDE 400 that I got from Amazon has port on the back that I don't recognize. And, I can't plug in the cable!! Please see the pics, because it's hard to describe. The cable looks correct, at the USB-C side, but the port won't accept it. Seems like a little slot, too small to fit the USB-C plug. Any ideas? Please help. I'll try to return it, if I need to.
Thank you.

The only way this could be USB-C is if someone stuck *something* into the port and it broke off. You might try to fish it out.

I think @kvbarkley might be correct.  It looks like the "plug" is broken off.  There is a faint outline around the connector face.  I thought it was marring, but now I think does look remarkably like the plug is broken off.  Maybe we can't see the blade portion because its hidden?

@kvbarkley great catch!

Also, plastics in the business end of connectors tend not to "mar", they are too hard for that.

Looks kinda like some version of Thunderbolt connector.  Could this particular scanner be an Apple-compatible version, mispackaged somewhere in the world?
