You mean the sound is working?

The wire that "doesn't reach" that goes to the sound card should be the front panel audio connector. It is NOT part of the 24-pin ATX power connector. The cable goes from the audio jacks on the front of your case to the sound card.
yeah i was saying like bring it out of case im not talking about the power connector and since it doesn't reach the front audio jacks don't work
 
The other end of the wire/cable that plugs into your video card comes from the FRONT of your case. Try to trace that wire/cable from your audio card back to see how it has been routed to the FRONT of your case. DO NOT PULL on the end of the wire/cable that connects to your audio card to trace it because the other end is likely soldered to a tiny PCB underneath the audio jacks on the FRONT of your case and will likely break off the PCB! If you can find the wire/cable, disconnect the end from the audio card and try do reroute it so that it will reach your audio card and reconnect it.

Oh, I get it now! You were referring it to the cable organizer "hole" in your case! Yes it's ok to take the front panel audio cable out of the cable organizer hole and run it directly to the audio card.

Tbh it’s very hard to do as it’s routed through the power supply and I’ll have to open the case to reroute it but tbh I don’t rlly mind using the back also thank you so much for ur help
