Questions about my Asrock Z390 Taichi Ultimate USB headers

Hello,

I have an old Cosmos II case - perfect in nearly ever way for my needs but the usb connectors on it are old Type 2 and 3. I have an Asrock z390 Taichi Ultimate on order. I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out how to get a 5.25" bay slot cover with a USB 3.1 C connector that goes to the motherboards usb front headers. The front typ C connector is a 20 pin connector. On page 24 of the manual - http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/Manual/Z390 Taichi Ultimate.pdf Also not sure if it can be split to two type C.



I'm looking at this and it seems to be for 3.1 Gen 1 as far as the header connector goes even though it says type C. The connector in the manual of the Taichi looks very different - not really a pin design from the picture - more like the connector type you see on laptop motherboards (not sure the technical term) https://www.amazon.com/2-Ports-Fron...36&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=usb+3.1+20+pin&psc=1 The header looks more like this - https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-6cb9ed8ce601f0020d0d102f67259051-c

I suppose I could make my own with something like this and a bunch of drill holes and some glue but was hoping for something a little more finished. https://www.amazon.com/Cablecc-Head...40180868&sr=1-6&keywords=usb+3.1+gen+2+header


I've seen some that include the kitchen sink with a usb card - I just really want the front panel with the connectors.
