I think I may need a Fan splitting cable but I don't think having a fan splitting cable will allow me to do much with 3 4 pins and 1 3 pin fan connectors considering they normally just split 1 4 pin into 4 4 pins. Excuse the fact i'm super new to computer building and any information would be awesome so i can get this baby up and running so its not on fire Thanks for reading!

That board has two fan headers, which are the CPU and SYS headers you saw in the video.
You can get an adapter to connect the fans to the SATA or Molex power connectors from the power supply. You will not be able to vary the speed unless you use a resistor or controller.
The fourth pin is used for PWM (pulse width modulation) to control speed. With three-pin fans, speed is controller by changing voltage. The fourth pin does not have to be connected.
Remember that you can connect more than one fan to a single header using a splitter and that there is a limit to how much you can draw from one header. I don't see the spec for this board.

Thanks a bunch dude, do you know what are the names of the adapter i can get for the adapter that connects to the power supply fans?

Just search for a generic adapter that takes male SATA power or male Molex to 3 or 4-pin PC fan connector(s).
Could look like this
