You will need a sound card or external DAC that supports surround sound, that motherboard does no have the necessary 3.5mm sockets.

here are the backpanel screenshots for speakers and mobo:

Look at page 18 of the manual

But the tl;dr version of it is:

• You have to use the audio control panel to change the behavior of the jacks
• The mic input on the back becomes the rear speaker output
• The front mic input becomes the center/sub speaker output

SPDIF won't output surround sound unless the application is using DTS or Dolby encoding, which most won't be.

Most cases have front panel audio. Though some may only have headphone out or for some reason, a combo jack. If you don't want wires sticking out of the front of the case, you can get something like this and jury rig something.

Otherwise sound card seems more convenient. Just more expensive.

I do have two jacks on the front panel, but i still need tio stick the third one somewhere

Did you read the manual?

For 5.1 you use both rear jacks and the mic input of the front panel one.
