So should I plug my powered hub into the wall while its plugged into my pc? I'm sorry if that's a dumb question.

I don't understand. Powered USB hubs generally have a mains AC adapter, yes it needs to be plugged into the wall so the hub gets external power. It also needs to be plugged into your PC via the included USB cable.

Where were you expecting it to get power from?  It comes with a plug for the wall since it doesn't get enough power from the PC thru USB.

And there's no safe, proper order to do it if that's what you're concerned about it.

It can be plugged into wall first, and then PC, and other way around. Does not matter.

 

USB is a smart protocol - it will only pull the power it needs. You're not going to surge the devices if you (un)plug the AC power during operation.
