Hard to follow what you're saying, but if you're saying you can move the cables at all then that's likely your problem. They are loose. Battery cables need to be tight enough that there is NO movement at all when you pull on them or try to move them.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m asking as I currently have the same problem with my Chevrolet Avalanche.
