If you have to hold the plug in a certain position, that's probably not a short. Shorts usually involve smoke and fire, or at least stuff not working no matter how you twist the cable.
What you have sounds like you broke some wires in the cable, try replacing the VGA cable (if you can) or try with a different monitor.
