I want to set the strip vertically next to the fans but because of where the rgb header is on the mobo that's impossible, so it's just sitting over the psu cover. Also the lightest tug and the strip gets pulled out of the header

Any idea on what I can to make it look more organized?

Thanks.

Case: Phanteks p400 TGE
Mobo: Asus Prime z20a

Oh thanks, they have an extension for just about everything. I ordered the strip. Now how do I get rgb strip to stick? There is no adhesive on it so what should I use

It has no adhesive on it ?, strange, I have a roll of this double sided padded foam tape stuff here that I use, it is super strong, the only downside to it is once its on there, its not easy to get off: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/double-sided-foam-tape-12mm-x-10m-n91al I use it on the back of SSDs, LED strips etc.

Yeah I don't feel anything sticky. Does it usually come that way or do they give you some kind of sticky material? I was thinking of using clear tape and taping it to the case, that way it's not that obvious and I can easily remove it if I have to.

Yes I would of though it came with something, maybe on your particular cable they just leave it without so you can use what you want, but anything like what I suggested or you were thinking of using will be fine, I have tried double sided sticky tape before myself and didnt really find it strong enough or thick enough to hold things in place, I know the strip isnt that heavy, but regular double sided sticky tape isnt really made for that kind of thing.
