Get a pin. Push down on the little metal tag you see on the plug to allow the pin on one of the wires to be pulled back out of the plug, and then push it into the other hole so the two wires are side by side.
If the spacing of the pins on the motherboard header are too close for a 3 pin width plug to be actually used, then remove a plug from some old scrap component or lead, pull both wires out of the 3 pin plug and then fit them to a 2 pin plug.
It's quite easy to remove the wires

Usually, but not always. You're talking only two wires. If it don't work one way round, then turn the blasted plug around!
