Asus Z97-A No Power

Building my first rig and I'm not getting any power. When plugged in LEDs on board are green and one is amber.
Doublechecked my standoffs and SATA cables.
I'll post pictures below.

Is the 8 pin power cable connected?

Why do you have the floppy power connector plugged into a fan port on the motherboard?

I was told you had to have Channel Fan 1 in order for PC to boot up and it's the only one that fit.

I have 2 cords from PSU plugged into the motherboard. 1 8 pin and another.

Most motherboards require a fan(or pump) plugged into cpu fan 1, that port is for a chassis fan and isn't required. By plugging the psu into a fan port there's a good chance you have damaged the motherboard.
