[SOLVED] Can someone help me with my fan layout?

I got a corsair 275 r case https://www.corsair.com/ww/en/Categ...es-275R-Mid-Tower-Gaming-Case/p/CC-9011131-WW
i recently got these fans https://vetroo.com/products/aigo-au...tion-rgb-cpu-coolers-radiator-with-controller
as far as i know my case supports 3 120mm fans in the front, 2 120mm on the top. So i mounted the 3 fans to the front where the 3 fans are pushing cool air out. However i at first saw a temperature drop in my hard drives and components alike, after about 4 or 5 hours, my temperature of the hard drives went from 36 to almost 50c, from originally being around 40 without the fans, and my CPU and GPU temperature were at idle higher than normal. And from feeling the fans on the outside there was a lot of hot air inside. I mounted the second oem from corsair fan to the top since i moved it when i installed the 3. The only reason i arranged the 3 fans the way they are is since the RGB is on the inside of the case and my front panel isn't see through, so if i turn them around the rgb wont be as visible. Should i switch them facing the other way?

So if I got this right, you mounted your 3-pack fans backwards because you wanted to be able to see the LEDs, and thus sacrificed cooling performance for aesthetics? Then where's the cool air coming from?
If you want to see SOME of the LEDs, then:
-take 2 of the 3 RGB fans and mount them as rear and top exhaust
-mount the remaining 3 correctly as intake.

I believe i did, but i forgot to mention i am unsure of the logistics of mounting fans. Whether or not they are the right way i have no idea. Im assuming there not the right way due to it not cooling properly, but i was also wondering if the fans were defective.

This has a few pictures of a noctua fan. The 1st image shows the front, or the side the fan pulls air through.
The 4th image is of the back, or the end you can feel the air from. It usually has a few little details of the fan on a sticker in the middle.

You want the backsides of your 3 intake fans facing inside the case.
The rear and top exhaust, the 'fronts' should be facing inside the case.

Just rearranged my fans took a lot of screwing but thankfully my hard drives aren’t 50 c anymore. This is from idle as at idle my hard drives were at 50. My cpu and gpu are at better temps I’ll play a game and see where it stays
