ROG Strix X570 ITX motherboard issue

I'm building my first ITX build. Using a ROG Strix X570-I Gaming in a Phanteks Eclipse P-200A Digital. Outside of the motherboard not having a front USB-C header the other issue I am seeing is with the front panel audio connector(AAFP) It appears this header is smaller than a normal motherboard audio header. I cannot get the front panel jack onto the header. When trying to match the pins to the jack it appears the pins are slightly smaller than the jack itself.

The jack fits onto a normal ATX motherboard front panel audio jack.

Do ITX motherboards have smaller headers for some reason?

For an update......it appears I missed a valuable included part. Seems this motherboard does include an AAFP extension cable. It's only shown as an included part but nothing mentioned elsewhere in the user manual. It's a short(4") extension with indeed one smaller jack to fit onto the motherboard header with the other end being a slightly larger header pinout to accept the normal sized case front panel audio jack.
So it appears this ITX motherboard does have a smaller front panel audio header pin configuration.

So "Solved"
