First time builder, AIO not pumping

Hey guys, I have had a PC that I built myself for a little over a year now, today I decided to upgrade from a fan cooler for my 3900x to an AIO. I went with the NZXT Kraken X53. So I just went for my first test run, CPU was working fine but temps were in the 90-95 Celsius range, so the pump was not installed correctly. My motherboard does not have an AIO_PUMP port, so I was told via the manual to connect the 4 pin to the CPU fan instead. Double checked it was in and tight. Next, I went over to the USB, it was also snug in the port. What could have gone wrong here? This isn’t an issue with poor thermal paste because the RGB signal was not on the X53 when I booted up. So this has to be something with the pump. I’ll provide any additional details/photos if you need them to get a better understanding, thanks for the help guys and I look forward to your responses.

 

CPU: Ryzen 3900x

Motherboard: B450M Mortar Max
