Hey Fraher,
If your cable from your case is in ONE plug, just plug it in to the F audio connector directly. There is only way it could fit, so do not worry.
Now, if your cable from the case is the old fashioned way, where they are in independent wires, follow this photo:

That fconnector is simply your front panel connector, so if you wanted to connect a mic/earphones to front jacks of your case, you can do so. So even if it says earL, it's safe to put in audioL of motherboard connector.
Just follow the photo above, you'll be good.
On a side note, this will work if you are going to use integrated sound. If you ever purchased let's say, a sound blaster audigy card down the road, and you disabled the onboard sound, you'll lose the front connections. Some sound cards allow you to connect the front input cable directly to it.
Best wishes.
