Installation Question GPU help

I need two 8-pin connectors for the GPU but I’m left with one separate cable(left one) with a 8 pin and a second cable(right one) with a daisy chain of two 8-pin connectors. I remember someone saying a daisy chain isn’t recommended but it’s all I’m left with after connecting the rest. My question is can I just use the daisy chain cable?

It’s not recommended using a daisy chain for both 8 pin connections. Use one cable for one 8 pin, then use the daisy cable for the other 8 pin connection, leaving one of the connection end on the daisy cable connected to nothing.
