SSD goes to sata express 

for HDD is doesn't matter as long as you have enough ports for the ssd.

Also make sure you are using the black cable and not the red one for the ssd

my motherboard came with 2 black ones that say 6 gb/s is it okay to use them in the ssd and hhd

Yep go ahead dude rule of thumb

SSD - black cable - SATA express

HDD - black/red cable - SATA or SATA express no difference in performance

Also using the sata power from the PSU and SATA power from molex adapter does not impact performance

SATA Express is a different connector. I do not know any consumer drive that even uses that connection.

It does not matter to which port you connect the SSD or HDD to. You will be using same cable anyway and are limited to 6Gb/s.
