Question How can i get all my ARGB fans to light up?

This is my first time fiddling with ARGB (and AIOs for that matter) and it is proving to be somewhat difficult to understand.

I have a Chieftec Visio which came with 6 argb fans and a hub.

The problem is that i have an aio that also has ARGB and a hub, but my motherboard only has 1 accessible ARGB port for me, the rest are at the bottom of the motherboard which is out of reach for my AIO and to an extent for the case fans aswell as i would like to have the option to switch the lights with the reset button which is located on the top.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to ARGB, all i did was set up all the fans on their own hubs.

Is there any way to chain these together so that all of the fans (and pump argb) is controlled by the same port?

Also noteworthy is that neither of the hubs have space for more fans.

Listing the necessary parts:

Case: Chieftec Visio
AIO: Thermalright Aqua Elite V3 240
MB: Gigabyte X870 Gaming Wifi6

looking at that rats nest is off-putting to say the very least;

and if you go here;

and download the manuals onto your drive, you'll notice that the ARGB hub that came with the case only supports 6 fans with 6 ARGB connections.

To add;

the board has 3 ARGB headers at your disposal, labelled ARGB_V2_1, ARGB_V2_2 and ARGB_V2_3 respectively. You just need to download Gigabyte's Control Center App;
https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870-GAMING-WIFI6-rev-1x/support#support-dl
and get the RGB Sync widget within the app. That should help manage your ARGb headers and effectively the devices tethered to them. Mind you, you might need to press the LED button on the case and hold for 3 secs, that will enable motherboard ARGB sync.
 
I've never been a believer in hubs. However, there are plenty argb extension cables and splitters on Amazon where you can buy whatever you need to reach the 2 argb ports on the bottom of your motherboard. So you should be able to connect your case and fan hub argb to those ports.
