photo's and full specs would help here,

your motherboard manual will tell you which sockets are to drive case fans, usually there are not enough for all the case fans if you have a bigger case, you can use splitters or you can connect some of the fans to the PSU and they will just be running continuously (if they are good fans that are not too noisy this won't be a problem), the 4 pin pwm socket close to the CPU is for the cooler

EDIT: Here's a link to the multi-language manual download from msi website for your motherboard:
https://download-2.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/B650GAMINGPLUSWIFI.pdf

it shows that you have a 4 pin pwm connector for the cooler, and a 4 pin pwm connector for a water cooler pump (you would use which ever you need for your system), and 4X 4 pin pwm connector's for your case fans, if you have more than 4 case fans you can use a spliter, e.g.

if your case fans are 3 pin, you just only use 3 of the 4 pins on the motherboard, it will power the fan but the speed won't be variable
