USB Leads don't match up on the motherboard

Hello,

Case: VA8003BWS (http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/Upload...00_en_0426.zip page 20)
Motherboard: ASROCK X58 EXTREME 1366 RT

I'm trying to connect the USB ports on the front of my case to the motherboard. However, the connection on my motherboard have ground at pin 6 of the lower layer of pins as follows:

xxxxxx
xxxxxO

The connector coming from my case has pin 5 of the lower layer grounded as follows:

xxxxxx
xxxxOx

Is there a work around for this without taking apart the USB cord and re-organizing the wires? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, can't think of a work-around other than finding the correct pinout plug and splicing it in.

One day I will awaken to to see ThermalTake and RaidMax out of business and all will be right with the world!

the funny thing is, is that I have the correct end plugs from an old case (that is, the ground is in the correct place. You think I could just cut the old plug, crimp and attach?
