As you can see I have tons of extra wires..
I do not have an optical drive and I have 1 internal hard drive

This is typical. They tend to give you way more plugs than you will actually use.

As long as everything that needs power, is hooked up to the right power plug, the extras don't hurt anything just sitting there.

Wait, but is the internal hard drive hooked up correctly?

What I do is collect the spare wires with tape (electrical preferably but duct tape or something as strong and non-conductive is fine!) into a neat bundle and tape it out of the way which improves airflow and makes it easier to work on stuff. Just watch out for cables going into fans and don't bend them at extreme angles as they'll break!
Best of luck!

From your second picture, it looks like you've hooked up the data cable but not the power. One of those spare SATA power plugs is what you need. There's only one way it can go.

Which spare SATA plug is it?
How many plugs does it have on it and is it/ or is it not connected to the power supply.
Sorry for being such a noob this is my first time.

It should look like a black connector and it will only fit one way (feel free to be a bit rough as they don't always go into properly) due to a notch that looks like an L.

Some come seperatly other are in a chain like that...

You shouldn't need a MOLEX converter plug as it's a modern PSU (XFX?)
