I have a hydro x cpu block and a hydro x pump/res combo. They both have a cable, I assume that the cpu block one is for rgb and I'm not sure what the pump/res one is for bit I assume its what makes it actually work. Do I plug these in to tthe power supply directly or do I plug them into the icue commander pro since that's already getting plugged in to the power supply anyway?

Depends on the part itself. I assume they don’t have instructions. 
but some pumps have a sata or molex cable for power from the psu. And a 3 or 4 pin for speed reading and control to go to the mobo or a controller if it’s smart enough.

corsair pump it self has 2 connector, 1 molex 4pin for power & 1 pwm fan header for rpm control

i did teardown a corsair XD5 pump here

 

IIRC reservoir has 5v rgb daisy chain (2 cable) but cpu block doesn't, (1 cable)

the rgb cable order should be commander/mobo > reservoir > cpu block

 

EDIT: the D5 pump/res combo rev2 (diff anti-vortex) should have rgb adapter cable for mobo
