Details:
I just built a PC for the first time so I am fairly new to this. After I installed all the required parts (Part List provided below) I started up the PC and to my surprise nothing happened. No fans moved, no lights, no sounds etc. I immediately turned off the pc in the back and unplugged it as well. I thought it was faulty parts or I didn't plug in something incorrectly however I read about the paperclip trick and did that on the power connectors and everything turned on and worked properly. I was able to get into bios and install windows 10 via USB.
Issue:
My problem is now that I can only turn on my PC using the paperclip and not the power button on the case. I have read the manual and double-checked the front panel connectors and they all seem to be in the right place. Also the ring on my case around the power button glows when turned on but when i press it nothing happens. I provided pictures also below of the front panel connectors and the front of the case. I'm sorry for writing too much but not sure how much detail I need to provide. I'm really stumped on what to do next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
