Unsure of which power cables I should use for an Intel SSD internal drive

So I bought an Intel 540 series. I also have a Seagate 2TB HDD. The Seagate has used the P8 ribbon. The next closest power cable is the P7, can I use this for the SSD drive? I don't want to fry the motherboard. Should they be switched? Should they be a different configuration altogether?

Appreciate any guidance. For the record, I'm using an Acer Predator G3620.

As long as it looks like this, you're fine.

The numbers are just superfluous. As long as they are both the same sata connector then they'll both work.
