Either of them will work for 2 way SLI

I used the solid 3-way bridge that came with my mobo. Works fine for my 2x 970's

No sli bridge came with my Msi 980, I'm was going to use the one that came with the motherboard but it doesn't look correct, here is an image

My Gtx 980 slots to plug the bridge looks like

So my question is, should I use the one In the first picture or this one, which looks like the one made for the 980, (I don't know which one, in the pic below)

Only one pair of the SLI connectors needs to be linked, you only need the 2nd connectors linked if you have 3 way SLI.

So the first image that I showed in my reply to my post is good?

Yes, just link the connectors like it is shown in the image Blackbird posted.
