4 + 4 Pin PSU cable does not match CPU Power Motherboard Socket.

PSU Cable looks like the one on the right in this pic:

Motherboard: https://s3.graphiq.com/sites/default/files/5030/media/images/Asrock_Fatal1ty_Z97M_Killer_6526088.jpg

Having some trouble with this. Only 1 of the two 4 pin ATX 12v CPU matches with the 8 pin on the motherboard. My mobo manual says the following "This motherboard provides an 8-pin ATX 12V power connector. To use a 4-pin ATX power supply, please plug it along Pin 1 and Pin 5" So I have only been using one of the two 4+4 connectors with the PSU. I was able to get to bios.
As you can see the rightmost 4 pin in the picture has 4 rounded plugs. The motherboard has two sqaures and two rounded diagonal from each other where that plug should go.

The cable on the left is a PCIexpress for GPU, it's a solid 8 pin and doesn't come apart. The 2x4 one on the right should fit into the MB. What PSU is it?

Both 4 pin PSU cables fit into the 8 pin mother board cpu power slot. However only one of them matches the sq/hex pattern on the slot. The other can be inserted but has all hex tops while the Mobo for that spot has two sq. and two hex.

Cable on the left is 8 pin CPU power.

Cable on the right is a splittable 8 pin CPU power in case you only need a 4 pin CPU power.

4+4 IS ALSO ABLE TO BE 8 pin CPU.

What is your PSU? Make and model?
