Chassis Fans Not Working

Hey guys! My first post, hope I do this correctly.

 

Building my first pc, everything going smoothly, everything turns on and posts, my Corsair AIO radiator fans work perfectly, yet I noticed the 3 chassis fans included with the case don’t spin/light up.

 

They jitter once when I turn the system on then don’t move.

 

At first I thought it was the fan curve, so I adjusted accordingly. Nothing. 


Then I changed the Fan headers they were plugged into. Nothing. 
 

I even plugged them into the Corsair Commander Pro. Nothing. 
 

So I decided to plug my fans into my other pc, so it had a completely different motherboard and psu. Still nothing. 
 

I troubleshooted for a bit longer between both the PCs, when I noticed that the actual center of every chassis fan was hot to the touch. This seems bad. I thought maybe not enough power to spin?

 

The motherboard fan headers were rated at 1amp and the fans are only 0.2 so it’s not power. 
 

What am I doing wrong?

post a pic of the fan headers?

 

(The fan connector, not the mobo connector)

...  what model fan is it?  That looks more like an RGB connector than a fan header

 

After checking, I don't think those are normal fan headers, and you need a special hub to control them, did it come with the case?
