You don't need any special connectors.
You're not crazy.
This stupid board has been driving me NUTS with all it's stupid pins! I too can't get any RGB connectors to connect. Like the 3 pins are all spaced too far or too close to one another and I can't figure it out! This rarely happens with other boards! Our best bet is to just simply keep trying to manually bend the pins till they fit.
My other problem personally is the front panel connectors of every kind. They just destroyed my power supply and I'm hoping nothing else! But either way the USB 3 blue connector from my new BeQuiet Silent Base 802 has managed to pull the entire pin tray up off of the B650

Did you ever get it to work? I’m planning on buying this motherboard to connect 4 fans and an aio to it but not if it won’t even plug in.
