Charging issues with new USB c charger

I just bought a brand new macbook pro with a USB c charging cord. First night I plugged it in and it doesn't charge at all, but the power hasn't gone done, I thought maybe it was me. Second night, I plug it in and make sure its connected and go to sleep, when I wake up it's only half way charged. Right now, I finally have it plugged in and its charging but I notice the charger is bottom heavy and doesn't seem to fit properly in the outlet. Does anyone have any other solutions. Also, I don't like that they removed the extension that we used to get with the cord.
