How to properly connect power to 4 video cards?

Guys, I ask for your help.
Do not judge strictly, I surfed the Internet, but, apparently, due to my age, I could not find the necessary information.

I bought a power supply, tell me, please, how to properly power 4 video cards?
Power supply connectors:

Card connectors:

Do I understand correctly that you can connect 2 pin 8 video cards to PCI-E?
And how to properly power an additional 2 cards?

Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.
Hug - threw!

It would be wise to change the unit to one with as many connectors.
The first is not a very reasonable option - because. there are not enough ports on the power supply, it is possible to branch through a power splitter, 8 + 6.
But this is a bad choice. A double load will go to the power supply connector, it will heat up.
The second not very reasonable option is through the peripferal connector with an adapter. Purely for an example of what we are talking about, I do not advise taking it https://aziada.ru/products/kabel-razvetvitel-pitan...
you can hang one video card on two peripheral connectors, in total you need 4 connectors and 4 adapters
But most splitters and adapters in stores are Chinese shit and can overheat, melt and short out. Once I connected a powerful vidyakha, it worked fine, but in the game under load the insulation became hot and soft, flattened with my fingers. I also saw burnt connectors more than once, Chinese connectors often have poor contact in the connector and it heats up.

Powering normally from this PSU will not work. Adapters with SATA/Molex to 6Pin won't work. You
need a PSU with 8 6+2 connectors, like this. Zalman WATTTERA ZM1200-EBTII

If you are sure that the power of the power supply is enough and your hands are growing from the right place,
then you can connect additional cables through the Vagovsky terminal blocks to power the other two video cards.
Naturally, you will have to cut the existing cable + you need two more cables with 8-pin connectors.
I connected cards like this, but from a server PSU of 800 watts.
The main thing is to do it very carefully so as not to confuse the polarity of the power supply and not short anything.
Or entrust this work to someone who understands
