Hello. I have a MSI MAG Forge 100R case and a MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard. The case includes 2 front argb fans and one rear normal fan, it also has a LED control board in the back of the case. I'm not sure where to connect the cables, the LED control board has pins for the ARGB fans, but it seems the ARGB fans also have a cable with pins and I don't know where to connect it. Here's a image:
Each ARGB fan has 2 cables, one that goes into the system fan of the motherboard I think, and a LED cable that has 2 connector, this one I don't understand. Image: View: https://imgur.com/a/PB1Ybrz

The two cables off of each fan is so that you can daisy chain them. Now please keep an eye out for the arrow on the connector so you don't pair them in the wrong way. The arrows should line up(face each other) when you have them connected.

The fans will connect to the hub while the hub will connect to the JRAINBOW header(s) on your motherboard.

The 3 pin connector with the notches on it's side are for the fans RPM and they connect to the SYS_FAN headers on your motherbaord.

From what I understand, it should be like this? (Sorry about quality, made it with paint). Still you see the cable in the red circle, the one with the 3 pins, I don't know where it goes.
