Ipad Pro Model A1652-Won't Charge // Lightning Port Inside

[Jimjimjaroo]

Hello,
I have an Ipad Pro. It will not charge. I wonder if it's the charging port. Please see attached photo. Is that generally how the inside of a lightning port should look? its the first time I have needed to look so I genuinely don't know.
Thanks
Jimjim
