not all the 8 pins match with the mother board connector
someone told me that rounded pins can go to square holes.  is that right?

and send me this   http://prntscr.com/cn5rzc   is it right to install the rounded pins into the square holes? 

and if it fit should this be the right way?

Yes, that's fine. They are keyed so that you shouldn't be able to plug in the wrong connectors.

Yes and that is the correct way, there is only one way to plug it in.
