Need help with hot swap connection and PSU

I recently bought this PSU because it is fully modular. I like the idea of being able to eliminate un-needed cables. Segotep 650W Modular PSU

My Cooler Master HAF XB Evo case has a hotswap bay that can handle two 3.5" drives. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FFJ0H3Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The cable coming from the hot swap bay is meant to connect with the PSU. Sorry for the blurry photo.

 

 

The PSU doesn't have any connections of that shape. Do I need to get a different PSU? Do you have any recommendations?

     A SATA female power plug?  Try if a SATA power cable will fit.

    Yeah I believe it is a short cable with a wide connection. Maybe i need a SATA extension cable like this one?

    It doesn't match with a normal SATA power plug, like the ones on the PSU cables?

    One of the connectors on the Cooler Master backplate looks like a standard connector for ATA HD's (4 pins in a row) that you should have in some of the cables that came with the PSU, but better check that voltages on the the pins match.

    Thanks for the responses. It looks like a wide, short  SATA cable. I haven't been able to start putting things together because the CPU hasn't yet arrived. I included two images in the original post. The back of the PSU is the second image.

    The computer case manual is useless. It only has pictures, no words.

    The manufacturer of your power supply should hopefully sell the necessary cables as an accessory, if that model isn't discontinued.  Be aware that both between manufacturers, and even within the same brand, the pinouts may have changed between models so even if you find one that fits, it might not be wired correctly for your model so double-check you are buying the correct one or verify the wires go to the expected pins before using.

    This. 

    It is called Molex. You may need an adapter of sata power to molex similar to this:

    OK, I solved the mystery. There is an extension cable in the PSU box. One end connects into the PSU.

    I got really confused because I don't have the CPU yet. I work easier if all the parts are on the table in front of me.
