So I purchased some cheap Cooler Master fans for my future build and I realized that they are 3-pin fans but my motherboard has 4-pin fan connectors. Will my fans still work without any problems? If so do I plug them in on the left side with the right pin left out or vice versa with it plugged into the right side with the left pin left out?

Yes it will work.
A 3 pin fan can plug into a 4 pin on the board.
A 4 pin fan can plug into a 3 pin on the board.
