Need some power adapter help here on my AES.

I have a first generation NEO SD I purchased back in 2014? and a early model US Neo Geo AES system (SN 18950) with a generic 5v PRO-POW AC adapter. The thing is short as hell and sits VERY loosely in my AES, but has worked fine for a decade, but it does seem to barely draw enough power for the neo SD (running normal AES carts is fine even if I move the plug around, but with the NEO SD it causes the system to freak out and I know that cart draws way more power, so the issue is obvious.

In short I need a new power adapter and I see many more generic ones are available now! Or should I find an OG one? Do the new ones have tighter fitting barrels and have more stable power? I have attached pics if they help at all and I have been looking at these two links for adapters.

Retro game cave makes the power supply you need. They have both the 9v or 5v you need. They might be out of stock though.

They designed them with the NeoSd and Pro in mind.
