Okay, makes sense, next can you take a photo of every place where the fan hub is plugged into your motherboard.

Sorry for the delayed replies. Red represents fans, blue stands for ARGB, and green powers my SSD. The port with the yellow arrow connects to the motherboard—it's called MB_SYN. I’m not sure if it matters, but this cable splits into two: one half goes to the motherboard, the other to the PWM/FG port on the AIO hub I showed earlier.

Is this the sole connection for your motherboard? That cable only handles RGB lighting, not fan speed. Where is the two-pin connector called "ctrl" on the hub? - Does the case include a button to adjust fan speed? If yes: it’s likely a SATA-powered design that limits fan control. You can modify fan speed using a case button, but I suggest using PWM splitter cables to connect fans directly to the motherboard. Off topic—what do you mean by "the green one just powers my SSD"?

The green arrow points to the cable on the hub labeled POWER, which connects directly to my SSD. I discovered a tiny cable on the HUB marked CTRL that leads to my front panel.

Okay, that green cable is meant to go to the PSU, not your SSD. I'm amazed your SSD even works setup like that (or that you havn't kill it or the hub). Your SSD should be connected to your PSU and your Motherboard. Here is a video that tells you where all those cables are meant to go. It shows that the hub should indeed have a PWM cable going to the motherboard (as well as the RGB cable you have already plugged in).

Solution implemented! Appreciate the help. I connected the mini AIO fan hub using the PWM cable, removed the hub entirely, and linked both fans directly to the Be Quiet hub. For the green cable, I realized it was part of the drive chain but not the power cable on the hub. (Yellow = drive chain, red = power cable)
