So im attemtping to connect a floppy drive with a Multi IO card I just got. Went to go connect the floppy drive to the header, however, I noticed, this won't work with my current floppy cable, as the cable has this "missing" pin port blocked up.

So, the header has an "extra" pin, which won't allow the cable to plug in due to this ... (I really hope I'm making sense here)

.... Can I just bend that pin off the header of the FDD on the card?

Yes you can or you can make a hole at the cable connector with a red hot needle for example. It will work.
Same thing applies to ide cables.
edit
I see you fixed it nice
