At the suggestion of Trotter I'm posting this here rather than in hardware troubleshooting.
So long story short, my friend's motherboard died. I bought a very similar but better one cheap. I went to put it in his case and it turns out he has a mini-ATX case (I thought it was a mid). So I decided to attempt to transfer everything to an older case I have that is ATX. I have pretty much everything in there but as I went to turn it on it wasn't working. I noticed that there isn't anything plugged into the front panel. Now after looking at the front panel and the manual it seems that the panel connector isn't the same as the equivalent one on the motherboard.
First pic is the general setup, as you can see the cable from the front is too short to reach the mobo. Although I'm a little more worried about whether or not I can connect it at all. Second is the connector from the panel and the third is the connectors the manual says to use.

Sorry about the pic quality it's the best I could get.
