So today I cleaned out my desktop with compressed air. A few times I picked up the tower and shook the dust out. As I put it back together and plug everything back in; it wont turn on. I look back inside and notice one of the connectors running from the the power supply isn't connected to something but I don't know what. I can't find anything to connect it to. My SSDs are plugged, my motherboard is plugged in. Any ideas?

It depends many PSU's have an 8 pin and a 4 pin, if the 4 pin is already plugged in the 8 pin is extra and does not need to be hooked in. In that case I would go ahead and re seat all connectors and add in cards inclusive of memory modules.

It looks like the 8pin piece but like I said, I can't find where to stick it in. It's a female part and I don't see any male parts that need connected anywhere...

I apologize for drawing this out because I don't really know my way around the inside of my tower. I disconnected and reconnected the connectors in the power supply and nothing has changed.
