@HEWYPV -- look closely at the pins on each of the P1 & P2 & P3 & P4 connectors.

 

Some of the ends have 2 pins or 4 pins or 6 pins.

 

Also, note that some of the pins are "square", and some have beveled corners.

 

For example, just match a 4-pin connector to a 4-hole socket, and repeatedly rotate the connector until the squares/bevels allow the connector to be inserted into the socket.   If none of the 4 rotations work, then look for another 4-hold socket elsewhere on the motherboard.

 

Basically, by design, it's almost impossible to make incorrect connections.
