Need help please. Picture included

What is it that you're trying to do? Connect a fan to your motherboard?
 
Hmm... One would think that black to black, yellow to yellow and red to red might work.
 
You will probably want to snip the original fan leads and solder the wires together.
 
On some fans, like Panaflo's, the small connector plugs into the fan (follow the wires to the center) making them easily replaced if needed. I'd look for a pic for you but I'm currently at work and my web browsing times are very limited.

I just kinda put them in the holes in the small plug and bent em backwards... is that not sufficient? (should I solder?)
 
What they sent you is technically not an adapter. Its the wire assemply for a fan. If you look at the fan in this pic you'll see what I'm talking about. Look where the wires connect to the actuall fan (the white plug by the center of the fan). That's an actual plug so if for some reason the wires are damaged you can easily replace them without replacing the entire fan.

The problem is, not all fans are built this way (not even all Panaflo's). Alot of fans are built with the wires soldered directly to the fan inside. If your fan is like this, then you'll have to cut the smaller connector off (the one on the right side of your picture) and do some splicing and soldering.
 
Is there another picture of how the wires connect to the fan? You probably only need to pull the plug with the bare wires out of the fan, and plug in the replacement wires you received. no soldering needed.
