Okay, my motherboard is out of USB headers, there is only one of the standard 9 pin + key USB headers but there are two of the white 5 pin style headers.

Here's the pinout diagram:

Is it possible to convert a USB header plug designed for the standard header to fit on the 5 pin header here? Would I need to move wires around? Which pins correspond to which? They seem to match up if I connect the header backwards. Is it safe to plug it straight in?
