I can't tell you how many times I've found myself in that situation...
*after* I installed the drive and *then* tried to attach the cables.
This was back when a whole bunch of screws were involved.

When the cables were only 40 conductor I bought a whole roll and a bunch
of connectors and made my own as needed. Now that stuff is 80 wires, I
don't do that. Since I use full towers, this was a problem. I searched
on-line and found some quality extended ones, but they were fairly
expensive. For your use, they may not be worth it. Or budgets may
intrude, etc.

Anyway, glad your setup is working now.
