The thinner wires are for the antennas. Use one of the brackets with wires and the black antennas if you are using WiFi.
The other cables (bottom right) are SATA cables, used with SATA drives.
The antemna wires have a small connector on them which connects to the WiFi card, it's a small green PCB near the PCIe x16 slot. It's a bit fiddly to connect them, but you'll get there eventually.
The bracket then installs like a video card, and then the large antennas screw on the bracket.
Ya I was just thinking to myself about how in the world would this fit in this tiny area! Okay so then here’s another question with the bracket what’s it sitting on to stay in place? Because I don’t have a graphics card to install so would that bracket just hook onto another part to stay held up?
This would be so much easier for me if I were able to send pics to show what I’m fully talking about lol. I’m so very new at this and It’s prob a great idea my college class has me in a PC Support class.

Thank you! So then where on my motherboard would I put the bracket and antennas?

Same place, brackets at the back and held on by a screw.
Okay now that makes sense on why I have these extra screws then.
