The slot where the card goes into will have a little tab type thing on the right side of the slot, push that down and it'll allow you to slot the card in, push firmly until the tab thingy clicks back into place as originally found. The gpu where the hdmi/display port slots etc are will have a bracket which will slot into the left side of the case where you the screw the gpu to the case

Otherwise just look up some videos on youtube, its a pretty simple process

Yeah, so your gpu is 16 pins (16 holes), the cables you got there are two 6 pins with 2 additional pins on each one so to speak - the 2 pins connect to the 6 pin to make 8, you dont need to click them into place so to speak you can just hold them together and plug them into the gpu, doesn't matter which way around the wires are plugged in, just as long as all 16 holes have a wire in. the cables are split into 6 pins with a small 2 pins because certain gpus require only a 6 pin for example, ignore this though and look at it as two 8 pins for your sake

In essence, just plug the wires you had in your hand in that video into the gpu, the cable slots in a fitted way which you'll figure out, but other than that the cables can go in however is easiest

You may have additional wires as some gpus require more or less cables, just as long as both of your 8 pin slots have cables into them, you'll be good to go and can ignore any additional wires on that branch of wires you were holding
