Are you sure it's meant to be removable?
The loose bit is the cable grip and should be screwed back up tight - it won't be related to removing the cable.
If this is a removable plug and socket, I would gently try and prise a small screwdriver between the two hexagons, and see if there is any movement.
If there's no movement, don't force it, it may not be removable!

Thanks RG. I think it’s meant to be removable as I think it’s to allow the bottom plate of the hood to be removed for cleaning. The second hexagon pulls out a couple of mm and you can twist it but I cannot prise it out (might be too much cooking oil glueing it together) and you can then lock it back in. Just doesn’t make sense if there isn’t an easy way to disconnect. I’ll try and gently prise with a screwdriver.
When the second hexagon pulls out, does the cord grip move with it, or does the hexagon move and twist independently?
