Did you remember the standoffs? Power Supply switched on? What are the parts?

Yeah its turned on and so far we're just unplugging things little by little to see if the cpu fan will spin. When we turn it on it tries to spin but stops right away.

They're all compatible

There's a floppy connecter to the motherboard like oskarha said. That's the issue.

At first glance i thought that was just a fan splitter cable for the front case fans, until i realised its a PSU cable lol.

Unplug that, it was probably the issue. A tip for future reference, don't plug in things because they happen to fit. Plug them in because you know that it needs to be plugged in. 

[ElephantMane]

Alright we unplugged it trying it now

[ElephantMane]

It worked! Ugh thank god don't even know why that was plugged there.

That was close. It was possible that that could have fried the board. Random power coming where power should be going out.
