CableMod Adressible LED setup

[DatNapk1n47]

 Hello everyone! I know this could seem like a no-brainer but I haven't really installed any LEDs before so I'm not sure how to do it without frying them. These are the LED strips. The MOBO's manual seem really vague and not helpful about LEDs. I have the Gigabyte Aorus x399 Gaming 7 motherboard and I have included pictures of the manual, port and everything included with the strips. Please help me.

@Memez4Dayz for the addressable strips you need to use the 5v header. Ensure that your voltage pins are matched all the way through at each connection point (mobo to strip) and make sure you have the arrow on the LED strip facing away from the motherboard.

And does it matter which end of the strip I connect to the motherboard, and which I daisy chain? In the 1st image, the arrow on the extension cable doesn't match with the 5V on the strip. Also, what is the purpose of the arrow on the strip, and in the 2nd image, which pin is the 5V pin, because the manual doesn't make it clear for me. Sorry if this is a long message, and the delayed response but I want to be certain that I'm not bricking my LEDs. Thank you in advance!

@Memez4Dayz the voltage pin on your board is the one with the V on it. You do have the LED in the correct orientation though as the arrow on the LED strip itself should be faced going away from the board/primary connection as it sends the signal outwards. The arrow on the JST to 3-pin adapter should be facing the voltage pin, not the ground. So you need to flip that, or if it isn't going accordingly even if you flip it, it's possible that this one may have been stamped on the wrong side by mistake so please email Support@CableMod.com if you have issues with this. If you brick it though, same thing, email our support team, we'll get a replacement sent out.
