Question about fan connectors in the Corsair 500r

I'm having trouble hooking up my front fans that came with my Corsair 500r case. The two fans are connected together like this:

And then at the end, it comes with a 3 pin male connector, like these:

For some reason, the male connector won't fit into that male 3 pin. Anyone know a solution to this?
