Iphone 7 won't charge unless I hold my phone at a certain angle?

No, it's not the charger and yes I have checked for lint. I bent a paper clip and dug around in the port and only a bit came out. Is the paper clip not effective and there actually is lint in there?

Why won't it charge while turned on? And the battery seems to be draining extremely quick now. Anything I can do or is it permantetly damaged?
  • My Iphone 5c won't charge unless the charger is in a weird position? It's not a problem with the charger, because it's like that on multiple chargers, even ones that are brand new. I have to tug on the wire in different direction or press down next to the charging port for it to charge, and even then it's unpredictable
