I am doing a build right now and I am pluging everything in but Im seeing this one connector from my case that I do not recognize:

USB 3 gen 2? I still have no idea where to plug that in though or if that guess is even right.

3.1 gen 2

You may be correct, but to ne itlooks like SATA power connector. Fan controller power possibly??

TBH, I looked at the case manual and took a guess based on shape and presumed size, alongside rarity on motherboards which is also a guess since we don't know what OP is using (but seems not to have).

IDK, what mobo do you have?

 

[punkncat]

Based on @kanewolf guess, does the end of this connector look like an "L"?

nope, it sorta looks like a very complicated USB

Connection labeled "8" in your manual if I am correct. Just below 24 pin on right side of mobo.

Edit- It occurred to me that the manual you linked and the one I looked up based on model search may not be identical.

You plug it in JUSB5.

The "L" shape is looking at it from the bottom. Maybe a picture from that angle would help.
