Okay. So the 4th card on the riser but "use" the molex>sata adapter, and sata chain to PSU?

Double checking in case it melts again.

Strongly advise don't do this.  Sata connectors are designed to safe for up to 4.5 amps. The risers could draw up to 6 amps especially using 1080ti.  Much better to use 2 molex on one string.  Each molex won't have a problem as each can do 11 amps.  The only issue is the wire will get a little warm but not enough to be dangerous.
