This rookie needs fan install help

OK....

First THANK YOU for reading this! Second, I am very new at this process, so please be patient with me

My son and I decided to build our first computer together. Everything is running relatively smoothly. I am trying to install a 480 Thermaltake radiator/pump etc. and 4 - 12 Riing LED Green fans into our Thermaltake Core P5 chassis (also green..I will try to include pics). Asus Maxiums X Hero motherboard. Intel i7 8700K cpu, Corsair 32gb Ram, Thermaltake RGB 850 PSU

We opened all the fan boxes and we have no idea how to wire this up to the motherboard. None of the boxes came with any instructions or diagrams. I cannot find anything online either. These fans should only display in GREEN. I only need for it to display in GREEN as well. Therefore, I have no idea if a "controller box" would be required. I am not looking to do anything fancy except keeping my radiator cool and the color green. The fans came with extra cables. There are far too many to be hooked up to the motherboard individually (I will include pics) . If anyone knows of a videos or can text me back, my son and I  would certainly appreciate it. I can provide cell number if it makes it easier to communicate

What you need is a PWM fan hub https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999340

If you go with a different hub then the one I linked make sure its PWM

This will allow all fans to get the same rpm data from one header on the motherboard and provide enough power via a sata power connector.

A plus side is you can hide it for that clean look
