I'm trying to run crossfire on my R9 280x's, but the power connector I bought uses a different-looking 8-pin connector than needed for my Antec HCG 850W PSU.

My PCIe connector looks like this (S = square, R = rounded):
SRRS
RSSR

On the other hand, the correct connector should look like this:
RRRR
RSSR

Is there any way I can still use this connector in my power supply, or will I have to buy a different connector? Also, in the case that I need to buy a different connector, where can I find the correct one for my power supply?

I have a connector that works for one graphics card, that uses the same pin pattern as I wrote in the original post. The connector that I can't use has the same shape as the one you posted for the end I need to plug into the graphics card (which does go in properly). The other end has a different connector shape:
SRRS
RSSR
And this end doesn't go in properly.
