I've finished building my first ever PC. Current build is as follows:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Fractal Design Celsius+ S36 Prisma PWM ARGB 85.71 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Team T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB GAMING OC 3X Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RMx (2018) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fans: Fractal Design Prisma AL-12 PWM RGB 120mm x 3

Issue:
I'm currently having issues trying to plug in my RGB 3 pin (female) connectors to a proper power source.
I've got the fans plugged into the fan hub at the back of the case and that's working (although my AIO cooler is making grinding/buzzing noises) but there's no RGB on my AIO cooler or 120mm fans, I'm just confused to where to plug in the RGB fans.
The mobo has no room to plug it in and the case itself is a 4 pin...
Someone said that I need a RGB hub controller? But I can't find one for Fractal?

Someone also previously said to the plug the pins into the ARGB header on my mobo but the thing is, I've got 6 fans and 6 wires to plug...

This is my first time, keen to know your thoughts :)

Your AIO cooler should be plugged in CPU_FAN header, not to Fan Hub and pump to either W_PUMP or AIO_Pump if MB has it-
Only case fans should go thru fan hub.
ARGB and RGB are not same thing or have same connectors, has to be connected to proper one.
