Antec 900 fan plugs are not compatible with PSU or motherboard

I have an Antec 900 case, which has two small fans in the front, a large fan on top, and an exhaust fan in the back, all of which have individual power cords/plugs. They look identical to the piece on the left in this picture. I have been told it plugs directly into the power supply, but I have no plugs that connect with this- I do have a female cord similar to this, but no males. There is 1 slot on my motherboard that will accept this plug, but there are 4 fans, so I'm in a fix... any help? Do I need an adapter that will let me connect to the molex connectors from the PSU? Thank you.

Usually that connecter goes into the mother board, that provides power and allows software to report the fan speed:

But if your motherboard doesn't contain any connectors for your fans, you will need an adapter:
