The included pcie cables that came with my corsair rm850x have this dual plug thing, and I've never seen it before (it is my first time building a pc), and I'm confused as to how I plug it in

(Because the picture quality sucks, the ends on the left both say "PCIe", and the one on the right says "Type 3")

No manual I look at helps, and I can't seem to find anything like this online.

Some graphics cards have 2 8 pin connectors, or 1 6 pin or whatever else. The 8 pin is the top-left connector or if you combine the bottom-left connector's little thingie with the 6 pin at the bottom-left, it makes an 8 pin. So the top-right connector that says Type 3 goes into your power supply and depending on your graphics cards power needs, you connect either the 1 six pin at the bottom left or the 8 pin or use the 8pin, and combine the 6 pin with the little 3 pin guy to make 2 8 pins.

 

Hopefully that makes sense, lmk if you need any more help!

The connector on the very right is to be plugged in the PSU and the ones on the left into the graphics card.
