My son is trying to build a computer for the first time and we have a b650m riptide motherboard and a msi mag coreliquid a13 240 cooler. There are so many fan connectors on the motherboard and I do not know what we are supposed to be plugging it into. Attaching pics of the plugs for the cooler, along with the motherboard lay out list. Can someone please help us know where to put these? This is so important to him and he’s put a lot of money into it and I’m scared to mess it up.

Looking at your cooler diagram, put the CPU fan cable in 3 at the top middle of the board. The ARGB for cable management reasons may be best in 6 on the top right. And the pump goes in 29 right above where the graphics card plugs in. I don't know that cooler, but I expect the splitter cables for ARGB that connect to each other are long enough to allow the above configuration.

Don't worry, as long as you plug the fan and pump in lining up with and sliding into the notch on the headers, you are golden.
