Unable to figure out how to connect deepcool cf120 fans to gigabyte b560 DS3H AC motherboard

Hello!
New to pc parts and stuff so my terminology might be somewhat off.

I recently picked up this pc https://www.newegg.ca/abs-ali597/p/N82E16883360232?Item=N82E16883360232

Here are the specs to the build that are necessary to the issue
Motherboard: Gigabyte B560 DS3H AC Y-1
Fans: Deepcool cf120
Case: Deepcool MATREXX 50

My issue: The rgb on the cf120 fans at the moment are only able to controlled by the button on the top of the case rather than the rgb software on the computer.

Goal: From what I've gathered online and talking to others is that I need to connect the controller to the argb port on the motherboard which is the D_LED1 port, which has the thee prongs with one space between them. I am unable to find the cord to plug into the argb port on the motherboard to fix the issue.

I will link a youtube video that has instructions on how to fix this exact issue however my motherboard and case/setup are slightly different than his and I am unable to find the cord that matches his:

 

Here are some photos that show my setup: The cord running from the rgb fans (unnamed(1)) runs to the piece in the 2 and 3 unnamed photos and runs up to the hub at the top of the back of the pc (unnamed pic).

Let me know if there is any other information you need.

So i have the same case and fans, i am currently still looking into what to do. from what i can tell by reading the website. it just requires and adaptor to 5v 3 pin RGB, if the motherboard has a 5v 3pin addressable RGB plug on it.

Toms hardware addressed this too here

 I am currently wondering if i buy one fan will it come with the needed adaptor i know in this video it seems to have the adaptor included with the 3 fan pack

anyway I hope this helps. I can update once i find and test an adaptor.
