thing is i have a hot SSD's and i don't know a way to cool them, so i need some advice, its mainly about cooling those hot ssd's i feel like the default heatsinks are bad but i can not use other heatsinks because this heatsinks hold down the ssds, they anr't screwed to the board

It's apparent that the 3 case fans are not enough to provide a good case flow to cool your components properly.

all 3 of them ... they all 3 quite hot, i got no intake aitflow, hdds block them

 

and reason i use 3 intake 2 outake was mainly because from what i have learned its beter to have some preasure inside to keep dust outside

 

the 2 wdcs are below the gpu, the docker ssd is below the asus hyper gen4

Do 4 to 1 

 

Top fan near the hdds at the top so you get more fresh air in.

huh? 4 to 1?

4 intake and 1 out, fans. You just need to place the one at the top a little bit further to the hdds

i thought about that to but wouldnt that effect airflow ? , because heat raises

After your explanation the air coming from the front fans are pretty much blocked by your hdds. 

 

You might have negative pressure. 

 

You could try it and look your temps up

i added another fan , temps are beter for the bottom  ssd's as it probably takes the air from the pcie slots but the midle one under the cpu is still hot though, negative preasure as all 3 are outake witch sounds bad though,
