Trouble adding a hard drive to HP Notebook

[jimmulvaney]

So my brother has an HP 14-an013nr notebook,
and was told to buy a WD10JPLXSP -1TB -Sata drive to add to it,
along with a 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA HDD adapter with caddy tray,

We separated the adapter from the tray because it was way too big for the notebook, but when we opened up the notebook we saw that there was no HDD to begin with and that he is missing some kind of connection I could not identify. We need something with a wire that connects the notebook to the WD Drive so we can move the WD Drive into place because of the way the motherboard is shaped, we can't connect to the drive directly. Any ideas?

Actually, I found a YT video and it looks like my brother might have purchased the wrong adapter. LOL I told him to pick up this one instead. With it, we don't need to worry about the wires. Can anyone confirm that this one should work instead? We should just have to dismantle it first.
