As long as things don't "wiggle" around and the connector is stationary,
this shouldn't be a problem.
Having said that, I would also like to say that you might be able to find
an old used monitor and remove the screws from that cord and put them on
your monitor. This may take a little bit of force, but usually can be
done. Also, you can remove the female connectors from the adaptor card and
put new ones in. Just get a small wrench or pliers and unscrew the two
hexagon shaped screws from the back of the video card. Then, you can screw
in replacements from another source. Make sure you put new ones in though,
because often, these are the same screws that hold on the backing plate for
the card.
