Well those are all molex connectors in the pictures so... yes. Connect those. Just a note, if you connect a fan via molex, it will run at 100% 24/7. I hope you have some slow/quiet fans. If you plug them into a 3 or 4-pin header on your motherboard, you will be able to control fan speed.

The second picture you said was the fans. That plugs into molex, which is what you're holding in the third picture. The other end of that should plug into the PSU, if it's not already. Did you read the manual on the PSU? If it's a modular PSU, meaning the cable you're holding in the 3rd picture is not connected to the PSU, there should be a page in the manual about where to plug it in.

Molex is molex. It's just a standard of power provision. Any molex male plug will meet that standard and can be used with it.
