Hey everyone! So, I built my PC back in 2020, and today I finally decided to give it a good cleaning after a long time. I was using compressed air to get rid of the dust and came across this loose cable. I'm not sure where it's supposed to connect, and I really don't want to mess anything up by plugging it in the wrong place. It seems like it might connect to one of the sockets on the side, but I can't quite identify it. The cable goes into a part of the PC that's tricky to access, and since it's been a while, I'm a bit fuzzy on the layout. I think it could be for the USB ports on the front of the case, which is an Azza pyramid. Here's a picture of the cable: https://imgur.com/a/lZZiZAm. If anyone can recognize it and point me in the right direction for where it should go, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks!

If your motherboard doesn’t have a header for the USB-C port, you can always get an adapter that connects to USB 3.0 ports. Just search for 'USB 3.0 to USB-C front panel adapter,' and you should find plenty of options.
That looks like a connector for a USB-C port, which could plug into a header on your motherboard. Check near the 24-pin connector to see if you have one for it. If you need specifics, you might want to look up the model of your motherboard, as having that info is essential for identifying correct connections. Good luck!
Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize it could be USB-C. Here’s a pic of my motherboard, hope it helps! https://imgur.com/a/dBKiOVK.
Yeah, knowing your exact motherboard model is super helpful! Then we can figure out if you need an adapter or if that header is even there.
