That's 7v ?
Move the red wire 1 or 2 spaces
To the right would be my guess
But haven't done that stuff in years so would definitely
Wait for someone else to either agree
Or disagree with me

In your photo
Left to right should be
5v,ground, ground,12v
So pin 2 or 3 from left I would assume
For red wire
But yes definitely wait for more replies
I wouldn't want you damaging anything mate

No, I have a molex to 4 fan out. I want the fans at 100% but my mobo only as 3 fan headers and I have 6 fans and a pump

It could be the photos you saw
They put red on pin 4
Black on pin 2 or 3 simply because with red and black wires
You normally associate red as live
Bound to be someone else in here who knows for certain
Me I would dig an old fan out my cupboard
And test if I did it right

Why not just get a 2 or 3 way splitter for each fan header? At least you can still independently control e.g. intake and exhaust then if needed
Other option would be a proper powered Fan splitter cable (the Akasa below) that still allows you to connect the PWM Signal and control the whole lot via PWM, and also has a SATA power connector rather than Molex (so you don't need to keep Molex connectors e.g. on a modular power supply)
My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Cable Y-Splitter 2-Fan PWM (10cm) (SKU: WC-551-EK) = £2.99
- 1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Cable Y-Splitter 3-Fan PWM (10cm) (SKU: WC-9AK-EK) = £3.49
- 1 x Akasa FLEXA FP5S 5 Fan PWM Controller (AK-CBFA07-45) (SKU: CB-079-AK) = £4.99
Total: £15.47 (includes delivery: £4.00)

Personally I would also do similar to
What armageus said
Though it wasn't what the op asked
I would prefer to have control over the fans

I ordered one 11 days ago. I’m hoping soon they will dispatch it. But for now I’d like the fans working.
The fans are 2 shadow wings and 2 NF S12a so at full speed there all silent
I got the powered splitter so the 4 case fans can all run on one header. The pump can have its own header and the external rad can have 2 just on a splitter.

Yeah after 11 days
I would have gotten impatient too
And sorted out something temporary
