The metal (inside) is supposed to touch the pin it's supposed to be connected to. So you have a bunch of pins sticking out of the motherboard and connectors that are like plastic boxes with holes in one end and wires out the other end. You just put together the correct pin in the hole and that's it, no metal should be exposed. I can't picture where the confusion is coming from. It's simple; don't think about it too hard and do what the manual says.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
