Got a salvaged speaker and want to add it to my mobo. Speaker has 5 pin connector but only 4 wires. Will it work with my mobo 4 pin connector if I move one wire over?

I assume I need to know which wire is ground and such to make sure it goes in ok. Speaker: Green, empty, blue, white, red wires.

Mobo speaker port (connector? Wire receiver?):

Looks like the unused speaker wire clip has room to hangover the pins that will be used:

I didn't think there would be risk. But from what I have been reading, things do have the potential to go sideways.
I also did not realize they were so cheap, so I'll just pick one up that plugs right in. Thanks for the advice.
