Definitely the wrong adapter above.  It's one directional.  Male SATA power to female 6-pin connector is the direction it goes in.  It would have to be just the opposite, male 6-pin to female SATA power.

A SATA power splitter is your best bet.  SATA power splitters on Amazon

I also answered your other posts.  https://www.dell.com/community/en/conversations/optiplex-desktops/dell-proprietary-6-and-8-pin-sata-power-cable-dpn/647fa297f4ccf8a8de8271ac

In your other threaded posts, you mentioned adding an HDD instead of an SSD like you did in this thread.  SATA power splitter will work just the same.
