I have installed 4 pcie cards in my Dell r720 but they are not showing up in proxmox. Do I need to install drivers ect? Sorry I'm new to servers...
Pcie usb cards

So doing further testing I found out that the 4 port low profile card works but the 7 port regular profile card does not. The 7 port card came with a power cable but it has the standard flat 5 prong desktop power connector and there are none of those inside my server
Do you mean SATA power connector? Splitters and converters to that type of connector are on the market.
Not providing additional power to a PCIe add-in card can indeed cause them to not work, if they are designed that way.
Correct, I've seen some cables but none that look like they have the connection that I need from this to sata...

That one probably only provides 12V while SATA power has 12V, 5V and 3.3V but most converters (from old-style 4-pin molex) use 12V and 5V. USB typically provides 5V, unfortunately.
I guess it can all be solved with a multi-meter, a soldering iron and splicing some wires (if the PSU provides enough 5V)...
