I wonder if it's possible to mix up modular cables on PSU side, same socket for different purpose ?

Yes, it's possible. Less likely on quality PSUs, especially unlikely on more recent models, perhaps even an issue which has been or will be entirely corrected as years pass(ed) by.
But lower-end modular PSUs and old modular PSUs sometimes had configuration limits and no real safeguards to prevent Bad Things from happening when they were misconfigured by the user. The assumption was that the user should *always* read the user manual and should not exceed the limits. Even today that's good advice, maybe unnecessary but maybe the difference between a mighty beast computer and a smoking ruin computer.
Best Buy would not be my first choice. 😛
