Will a 4+4 CPU power cable work with 8pin motherboard CPU port

[mycigaris]

EVGA 600B
MSI b350m gaming pro
ryzen 5 1600
Cougar mx300 (case)

the PSU came with 2 CPU power cables but one looks different too the other (as in like one looks like 2 squares and 2 arch window thingies while the other has 4 arch window shape things, not exactly sure if this imporant detail.
My motherboard came with a 8 pin CPu power port which I wasn't really suprised be (since it's Ryzen and a little different to intel based mobos) and I was wondering if I just use 1 CPU power cable on one side (not sure which) or both 4+4 to the 8 pin port.
I did look this up and the results I got were
1 Cpu power cable to the left will work but not optimal
4+4 // 2 CPU power cables can be used for the entire 8 pin port
Which side you use is determined by you power supply (if you're using 1 cpu power cord0
It's obviously dangerous to force something in (like out of shape or different shaped cables)

This is my first time building a pc and I'm 14, cut me some slack.

Yes, you should connect both 4 pin cables. No, it is not possible to connect them wrong - unless you would use excessive force. It does not matter which 4 pin cable goes to the left or right part of motherboard socket, as they both have exactly same pin-out.

Yes, the 4+4 connector is the correct one to plug into the 8-pin socket on the motherboard.

I dont want to sound annoying, but according to this image the motherboards 2 four pin ports in the 8pin port look different (this is the same exact mobo btw) and my two cpu power cables have different shapes in different orders, Do I just pretend it's the same?

The 4+4 pin connector will fit. This is a very common configuration. Don't sweat it.

If you notice, the 4+4 connector likely has a small connector on it to combine the two 4-pin connections into a single 8-pin connection for ease of use.
