How do I access files from HDD?

Text:

My Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop was damaged and I salvaged my hard drive from it. I need to access my files and information from its hard drive but don’t know how to do it? I’ve read this as a possible suggestion:
''To recover the data, purchase a 2.5" EIDE (NOT SATA) USB 2.0 enclosure and mount the drive into it.  Attach it to a working system by USB and copy your data files to the host system's hard drive.''
I’m using a Razer Blade 15 computer with access to two USB 3.0 ports. The HDD from the Dell Inspiron 5150 looks to have a 22 pin (only) interface connection (See below photos)? The recommendation above simply doesn’t work because of the type of connection I have to my HDD.

+This is how I am setup.

+
+This is the bottom view (notice the 2 pins not plugged in and connected); I hope I have it connected correctly and that the 2 pins not connected aren't the reason why I can't access or read the drive?
