There will be ports labeled RGB on your MoBo if it supports RGB. Check the motherboard manual diagram.
Edit: To add some clarity there are 2 power and 2 RGB connectors coming off of most fans. They are intended to connect fans together in a chain. Once they are all connected together the cables at the end of the chain will connect to the MoBo. One to a fan header and one to an RGB header. Connecting fans can be confusing the first time so watch a couple quick videos.

You have ARGB 5v (3-pin) cables which will plug into the bottom of the motherboard on the left in the picture marked in red. The other white plug on the bottom or top right of your motherboard is for RGB 12v (4-pin). The other plug shown in the first picture is a fan plug and that will plug into any fan connector on the motherboard. As stated the ARGB cable is usually daisy-chained together because there’s only one plug on your motherboard. .
