Assuming that is up "TO' the gauge?

The steel square drive that pushes into the back of the speedo wears the plastic 'socket' in the speeedo. (some years are brass,, but more are plastic) Ya might try pushing the cable housing further into the speedo, and / or (if it's a replacement cable) moving the drive end just a tad longer to see if it engauges. Sometimes that works, sometimes not.

The aftermarket cables are crap to say the least, so try to keep your original if possible.
