Why are you fannying about with USB headers?

Plug the the thing into the mains and see if it works. Sort the detailed cabling once it's working.

Ill need it to use mouse and keyboard to get into bios and such

Plug the mouse and keyboard into the sockets on the back of the motherboard.

And that isn't the USB3 socket so it isn't going to fit.

Plug your mouse and keyboard in rear USB ports.

I didnt get any wires to connect the usb ports on the back to the psu, Will they just work?
