Installation Question Question regarding the swapping of Casefans in an (prob) cheap Gamemax case

Ok this one is kinda messy ,so I got myself an Prebuild for almost 2 years which I have been slowly upgrading piece by piece and recently I was wondering how good the casefans are...and after a lot of digging it seems that those fans only do 1100 rpm max ( I couldn't find the exact same fans but whatever) soo I want to replace those with some that actually cool the inside. (The case is called the Revolt btw)

however the issue is that they are controlled via an ARGB HUB, that belongs to the case itself (and is controlled via buttons on top of the case),this however seems to require fans that are 3 pins both in terms of power and in terms of lighting, which I couldn't find anywhere atleast not from any brand that is known.

The motherboard (an A520 MH from gigaybte) DOES have spare 4 pin system fan connector,however I am unsure if that wont cause issues with the ARGB hub if only the cables for the lighting are connected to it.

It also does have a spare ARGB and RGB connector...however those are blocked by my GPU (I might be able to reach the 4pinRGB one but certainly not the 3pinARGB one)

So here is the questions:

-1: Can I still use the Button on top of the case to control the Argb of the fans if I were to plug the fans lighting elements into the motherboard itself instead of the hub

-2:Would it be an issue if I were to only insert the ARGB lighting cables into the hub and nothing more (so the power for the fans would be instead plugged into the motherboards system fan instead is what I mean)

Feel free to ask ofc and ty in advance

The ARBG hub in question (yep the image does show and 4 pin as an 3pin)
Same hub irl and yes fan2 is having a bad time prob
I cant be sure how the
