I'm taking about those little tiny connections. I have no obvious socket to connect them into with 5 pins on one side and 4 on another. I have no clue what mobo I have. It's what came in my old prebuilt which had an all-in-one cable for these things. I only have a billion sockets to connect them to and they all have 7 pins on one side and 6 on the other. None look like this

Please help, I'm on almost hour 4 of trying to move my build to a new case because of this.

Pic please 

 

Wait, are you talking about usb 2.0 headers, or front i/o / power button-stuff in general? Your board might not have usb 2.0 headers

Not the most helpful piece of advice, but I would just plug them in randomly and test. If you plug in the wrong one, nothing bad should happen :P

The USB 2.0 connectors should be located at the bottom of the mobo, with the top left pin missing. 

It should look the same as that picture except rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

I thought he meant front power etc, in which you can't fry a board.

Pic looks like the entire bottom row isn't used. Just try to find 2 USB headers.

May your framertes be high and your remperatures low.

Take a pic of the motherboard itself and we will be able to locate the proper pins for you.
