PCIe cable compatibility question

I’m updating my computer and I had to buy an additional PCIe cable, but comparing those that came with the PSU vs. the new one I can see the first pins(from left to right) are empty vs not empty, as seen in the pic,

the individual sleeved cable is the new one, the single sleeve cable is the original, the PSU is a corsair AX860, no the ax860i, is a previous version I think, Is it ok to use this cable? is this different to be worried about?

 

ax860 is platinum https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/psu/cp-9020044-na/ax860-atx-power-supply-860-watt-80-plus-platinum-certified-fully-modular-psu-cp-9020044-na#tab-techspecs and according to legacy compatibility https://www.corsair.com/ca/en/s/legacy-psu-cable-compatibility or I don't know how to read that table...

Yeah it's compatible.
