Help!

We've built a custom computer that won't turn on, and at first we believed the problem to be the PSU or the motherboard until someone alerted us that the LED, power, and reset wires are probably not connected correctly! We followed the manuals when installing them, but when we moved them around and plugged the PC back in, one of the LEDs on the front of the chassis lit-up!

This confirms that it's probably the wiring, right?

But can anyone help us get the wiring right?

motherboard manual is the first one to help show you where all cables goes

We followed both the motherboard and chassis instructions to the letter, but when we do that, NOTHING lights up. The colors of the wires described in the chassis manual are not the same colors as the actual wires, so we go off of what's written on them (HDD LED, PWR, etc).
