How to make a German plug work with an Asian header
Use a grinder on the plug. This would probably void your warranty.
Before grinding:
Take the orange rubber piece away while grinding. Grind a bit on the inside.
Re-install the rubber ring.
This way you should be able to use a "German" style plug on a "Asian" style connector.
There is also a 115 pin version - 6 pins are left out (14, 15, 16, 33, 34, 35)
