Ok, so a week or so ago i bought myself a Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum as a new cooler. Everything regarding cooling works fine. But my motherboard (msi b360m bazooka) 4pin rgb header has round pins, and the rbg fans that came with the AIO need square 4 pins. And even if i out them in eachother the fans did not light up. So i ordered a phanteks RGB LED adapter in hopes of it fixing my problem but it didnt. So my question is, how do i connect the RGB from the fans to the motherboard so they light up?Would really apreciate all the help i can get :)

That particular RGB port on the board uses 12v devices only.  The ML120 RGB fans included with the H100i Platinum use 5v, and could be damaged if you connect them to that port.  You'll want to connect the fans to the cooler, and control the lighting with the Corsair iCUE software.
 

Some MSI motherboards have a "JCORSAIR" RGB header, where Corsair fans and lighting strips can be connected.

So i found a male 4 pin from the pump/cooler, but the 4 pins did not fit i tried plugging it in with force (probably a big mistake) and the fans still didnt light up. By not fitting i mean that the ''notches'' on the fan are not the same as the holes on the female from the pump. Im guessing i have ''killed'' the lighting on the fans...
