What you may have is a header for 4 pins, but only 3 pins on the
motherboard side. (I recall it was 3 pins for a previous message.)
In that case, the blocked hole on the plug goes where the pin is
missing on the header. I am not sure what you have on the video
board side. It is also a good idea to read your motherboard and
video card manuals.

In my case, I have it easy - there is a keyed 3 pin socket on the
motherboard and a keyed 2 pin socket on the video card. As long as
you have a proper cable, it is hard to get it wrong. :)
