I just got an MSI B650 motherboard, and I'm a bit confused about the installation. I found two black antennas but I'm not sure where to attach them. There's also another bag with two wires that seem to be related; can anyone help me with what these are for?

Definitely attach the antennas to the gold connectors on the back panel of the motherboard, near the USB ports. The extra wires are probably SATA cables for connecting hard drives or SSDs. If you have an M.2 SSD, you won’t need to worry about those wires right now.
You'll want to screw those antennas onto the back of your motherboard, right below the blue USB ports. Look for tiny gold connectors labeled 6E or something similar to plug them in. As for the wires, they are likely SATA cables meant to connect your SSD to the motherboard.
Just screw the antennas into the I/O ports where you'll see the connectors. Not really sure what the "other bag with 2 wires" refers to, but check your manuals for guidance. It helps to clarify these bits.
Yeah, I saw the SATA_A2 and SATA_A1 labels, but I'm not sure about the JUSB4 port. Is that the one next to the cooler?
