Argb headers or pins

I got a Maximus extreme XIII where i installed 7 phantek neons leds strips.
And i chained em all up with the phantek cables in to 3 female argb ports that i connected with the ARGB adapter
That is similar to this https://www.aquatuning.us/media/image/e0/02/53/1016528-01.jpg
Just from Asus that came with the motherboard. Then i connected the main female ARGB port to the motherboards ARGB gen2_2 port.
But then the lights started to flicker and change colours to green and red rainbowish colours like a xmax theme.

Then i switched to the ARGB gen2_1 port and now it works. All the 7 leds are in synch with the right effect colours i set im armoury.

Why wont they work in Gen2_2 but only in Gen2_1 argb port ?

Also if i want Gen2_2 to work then i hav ethis phantek adapter that gets sata power and connects tp the motherboard. This options works on both The Gen2_1 Gen2_2. But i wanted to remove that controller and the sata power cable, so why is there difference on the 2 Gen2 ports ?

Do gen2_1 get more power or have better lanes or something ?
