Need Help finding Front Panel Port on a Gigabyte AORUS ELITE

[Gandalfskyrim]

I have wasted a lot of time trying to find the front panel port on my motherboard and i can’t seem to find it i’ve looked at many Youtube tutorials but they seem to not help me with anything, maybe my Motherboard had a strange layout or something i did seem to find a cable with Front panel written on it but cant seem to find where to put it in. Right now i have in a brown highlighted cable which is coming out of that cable which splits to like 5 bits (sorry first time builder). When i try to turn it on only my ram turns on, here is some pics.

The front panel header is the WHITE one in the last picture.  The description of each pin is under the header, and it's also in the manual.
 

Most computer cases come with a ribbon cable that comes from the front of the case and splits into those individual 1-2 pin connectors. 

Maybe your case comes with a different connector, and you need that small adapter cable to adapt the connector from the case to split into the 1-2 pin connectors.

 

You also don't really need all those connectors plugged into the header, the minimum you need is the PW- and PW+  pins, basically the power button.

 

In the first picture, you seem to connect a connector that says F_PANEL to your adapter cable, but in second picture it looks like you plugged that in the audio header or somewhere else.

EDIT: Only RAM turning on sounds like a different problem. Could you list full specs and post a photo showing the whole motherboard?

First thing to do is move the left most RAM module over to the right one slot, so you have an empty slot, RAM, empty slot, RAM, as the motherboard manual advises. 

 

In terms of front panel, it's connected correctly it seems, as power goes tot he system when you press it, hence the RAM lighting up. However, you have a CPU without integrated graphics and no GPU so I wouldn't expect the PC to boot properly anyway right now. That may change once you have the GPU installed. If it's still not by that time, best to create a thread at the point so people can help run through troubleshooting steps with you.
