i pulled the molex conector out and the cables came out of the crappy outdated molex i dont understand why pc firms are still using this old outdated system and i dont know which way around to put them back in does anyone have a pinout please

Yep, that happened to me also - on just about all the Molex wires I was sent. Best suggestion I can make is, put the plastic piece over the 4 pins, then push each one in from the top of the specific pin wire  from 1 to 4. as long as each pin gets in to the hole, it should work. Usually when 1 of the pins doesn't make complete contact in the hole is when you have problems.

 

....but they do need to make them a bit sturdier.

The curved part of the broken piece will face the same direction as the other end that plugs into the controller top side.

With the controller facing up, plug the molex end into the controller - flattren out the wire so it isn't twisted, then put the curved to of the broken piece on it facing up like the piece in the comtroller

best I can do.
