My Asus Z790 motherboard has the Asus Moving WiFi antenna which connects with two sockets on the rear panel. There is no colour coding to indicate each lead is foe a different waveband so does it matter how the antenna is connected. One of the leads has detached which I'll try to fix but the antenna seems to work with one lead connected. What connectors are used for these leads?
 
You are talking about screwed barrel connectors? I have never known that they had to be connected in any particular way when putting on such as a pair of identical antenna, or even the desktop types. If this is something special aside from a marketing gimmick, it may be worthwhile to consult your motherboard manufacturers manual and/or website to see if it is, indeed, important.
