LED/RGB Fan question. Where do I insert the 4-pin RGB LED connector on my Aorus H370 motherboard?

Hi! This is my first time on this forum, I figured I would find some answers here. I am completely new to the PC building community, or "PC master race" some would call it. :lol:
Anyways, my problem is that I got no idea where to plug in the "4-pin RGB LED connector" for the 2 Vegas X7 fans I bought. I have the "Fractal design Focus G Black" case, which comes with 2 built-in fans. I figured how to plug in those with no problem, they just had 3 pin connector which is the fan and the white LED lights on it. And I managed to connect one of the vegas x7 fans without the RGB lights on but i ran out of header space, so I need a splitter to connect the last one... so I'm sitting with one fan that isn't running. Anyone know where I can connect 4-pin RGB connectors on the motherboard?
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus H370 Gaming 3 Wifi.

Hi, You have 2 locations, one top left side of Motherboard and one bottom left of the motherboard where you can attache the 4 pin RGB connection to the motherboard...If you have your manual, it is LED C1 and LED C2...but and this is important, Gigabyte have provided 5 pin RGBW connectors on the motherboard, so these are 5 pin connectors and you have 4 pin but it still works and this is critical.

The 4 pin RGB fan connector fits the 5 Pin RGBW connector leaving one pin free. It is important to line up the 4 pin RGB Fan connector with the arrow (on the connector itself) with Pin 1 on the motherboard RGBW connector...so 12v which is the one with the arrow on the FAN connector to the 12v which is the first pin on the RGBW connector on the motherboard....There is a proper diagram in the manual that shows this. Do not make a mistake and by attaching the 4 pin fan connector the wrong way!!!!!

I know I have had to write so much, but it is easy as I have the same type of motherboard with the same 2 connectors and have my RGB 4 pin fans working with a tremendous light show...Yep, I have been sucked into the madness that is RGB...Next it will be addressable RGB!!!!

Let me know if this makes sense....

Yes, because that's what I thought initially, I tried to set the connector onto the 5 pin header on the motherboard, but I noticed that the fans RGB connector didn't fit because of the uh "Plastic" surrounding the 4 pins. But what I did, just now, 2 mins ago. I shaved some of the plastic off, and it went straight in. So now it works! Thanks for the help!
