Installing 2.5" SSD on Precision 5820 in ODD bay

I would like to install 2 2.5" SSDs in the 5.25" ODD bay on the 5820 drive bay. I have found this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR7Ns3433KA for installing the HDD caddy Dual 2.5" P/N: VJWTX.  Also found a reference to "customer kit 400-AXBJ" in an old post.

Am trying to figure out from where to connect power to the SSDs.  I do not see any spare power connector on the motherboard or power supply (950W).

Before you ask me to got to chat, I would like to let you know that I brought this 11th gen I9 CPU 5820 Precision Tower from Dell Refurbished store to replace an unsupported Windows 11 CPU.  Love this tower and the flexibility.  Would like to get more out of it.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

There should be a SATA power cable tucked in a cable clip located underneath the power supply housing.
