as you can see only two pins are the usual metal color and everything else is black for some reason... This is the maximus xi hero wifi by the way. Can I just plug the 24 pin from the psu straight in like usual or do I need to do something else?

Looks normal. Yes, just plug in a standard ATX PSU like any other.

ok but are you sure? Sorry i don't mean to doubt you but it's an expensive board and i don't wanna screw anything up. Also do you know why most pins are black?

Not all pins are actually required. Yes, I am 100% certain. No worries.
