I just received my R6. I’ve been following this and other similar threads and I’ve been unable to find out exactly what type of charging cable one needs to plug into the round port in the camera. can anyone help?

Don't plug any power source into any ROUND ports on your R6. BIG - FLASH - GO - BOOM!

If you're talking about the elliptical USB-C port (actually a geometric "Stadium" shape), then you need a USB-C cable with PD capability. PD cables are special "chipped" cables, and are widely available.
