Okay, so the way I've had to route my front panel cables in my recent build has rendered my front panel usb c cable to short to reach the motherboard. I've had to run down and under a side rad. Is there some sort of extension cable as I cannot find one available anywhere?
Internal usb c extension cable?

My gigabyte board uses an F_U320G socket for the USB-C header. I assume that's a widely used socket for USB-C headers across manufacturers, but I could not for the life of me find an extension for it either.
In the end I had to reroute it as best as I could, which sounds like you'll have to do the same, or go without connecting up the front ports.

is it something like this?
Almost! Looks like the correct connector for the motherboard, the problem is that for usb3.2 it doesn't have the 20 pin header, so would need essentially a female end of the motherboard connector.

That looks like it might do. Wow pricey for an extension though.
Thank you @LuckyBenski but damn that is expensive!

I know right! I hoped once we found the right word a cheaper one would turn up... Didn't see any yet.
