Connecting lightning cable doesn’t always charge. It feels like something is loose in there. And when it doesn’t connect, a good smack of the phone downwards into my palm can do the trick. Also, the lightning cable can just kind of slip out, like it’s not catching in the receptacle.
So, what do you think is going on?

Given that the lightning connector is the hardest working part of the phone, generally being plugged and unplugged at least once a day if not more, it stands to reason if anything is going to wear out, it's going to be that plug.
Based on your description, it really sounds like your port has seen better days and should be replaced. I'm assuming here that you've tried all of the non-surgical remedies such as trying a different cable and cleaning and inspecting the port for any damage or obstructions like lint or dirt build up inside.
Unfortunately, iFixit doesn't have a guide to that repair, but the Spanish site Nadie Me Llama Gallina has just what you need. As you might guess, the site is in Spanish but does have an English language option.

If you're a bit more cost conscious, you can also find it on the major retailer sites like eBay, Amazon and AliExpress, plus a host of other places that specialize in phone parts.
