Hi so this is my first time building a custom loop and I got stuck on what kind of fittings I should get. The image I uploaded is the distro plate for my case, I want the same exact layout the pic has but not sure what fittings I need.

Well getting fittings to match the tubing. Prolly 10/13, 12 of them. 6 90's. 2 30mm extensions assuming the same rad is used. 8-10mm extensions for the gpu. And cant tell what size if any are being used for the cpu. And looks like a female end of a QDC is being used for the drain on the res. 
No it wont be fine to just block the holes if you are going to copy this build exactly. You need to connect the two ports where the gpu would go. Or make different lines than what are in the picture.

So for the gpu waterblock I dont have to connect tubes to it but I have to connect a tube linking the two holes that are meant for the gpu?

Yes. If you are gonna make a build identical to the picture. You can clearly see how the distribution manifold is intended to work. So you need to complete the loop. 
 

And if that’s the tubing you’re gonna use, then you simply get the fittings that match.

That or just have the lower tube have an extra bend or fitting in it to make it go to the next hole.
