69 Wiring Issue

Helping my brother with his restoration (Shanghaied, Ha). Incomplete work by others.
New wiring harness and turn signal switch connectors do not match up. Close but will not clip together. 10 pins (6 and 4). As I understand, this is a fairly common problem but it isn't clear on how to modify to make the connection work. Appreciate your thoughts.

Who manufactured the harness? Lectric Limited has excellent products.

Obviously you know that GM used different types of turn signal connectors.

Do you have the original turn signal connector...or one that will plug in???

If it clips in the new harness...just remove the terminals and install them. I run into this issue quite often.

He purchased the wiring from Paragon a few years ago.
