Just plug into the 8pin on the board. The extra 4 pin won't help you and is just more "hey look, marketing wank" thing some manufactures do. 

Be sure to @Pickles von Brine if you want me to see your reply!

The 8pin will be fine. The extra 4pin is not required.

swap the board then. 

 

the VRM is the second worst on x570. and its not really something to get if there are other options on the table. 

 

something like the Prime P or TUF would be better.
