I recently purchased a M5A78L-M/USB3 motherboard, and after putting all my parts together: FX6350, R9 280x, 8GB ram ect. I realised that my connector for the case power button wasn't connected to my motherboard. I read the manual and found where the power connectors are but when I tried to put them together the connectors didn't fit. http://imgur.com/18oO5Yf Here is my case's connector - whereas here are the pins on the motherboard http://imgur.com/gFc61Et. Help me?

The first pic looks like the USB front panel connector. It would go on one of the USB headers.
The 2nd pic looks like your FP header. That is where the power button pair, the power LED pair, the HD LED pair, and the reset button pair would go. And possibly the case speaker if yours came with one.

This is what your MB manual is for.
