Need some Guidance

Well, I don't really understand this...

My case comes with RGB, I have 3 fans that are RGB as well. My motherboard has 2 RGB headers that are 4 pin. The RGB cables for both the case and the fans are 3 pin.

Do I just plug it onto the header? Or do I need a cable to plug the RGB fans and the RGB cable from my case into to turn it into a 4 pin for the header on my motherboard?

If so link an cable that I need?

If anyone answers this THANK YOU, I have asked this 3 times on Reddit within the past few days and no one answers it :(

I was looking at the manual for both the fans and the case. They seem to show both a 4 pin and a 3 pin connector. The 3 pins are special (have the locking tabs on the sides) and should NOT go on your motherboard. The 4 pin can go on the motherboard RGB header ... just make sure the 5V pin lines up with the 5V on the motherboard.
