First, congratulations on the set up, sounds very cool.
I've never built with that particular Thermaltake case, but from my understanding the 3 fans it comes with have a proprietary cable that plug into a special controller. Basically, most normal case fans have a 3or 4-pin cable that plugs into a corresponding fan header on the motherboard, and the motherboard is then able to control the fans (Asus's AI suite in your situation). RGB lighting is a separate 3 or 4-pin cable that plugs into special RGB headers on the motherboard too.
The fans that come with that Thermaltake case have both power and RGB combined into one proprietary 5-pin cable. This only plugs into the built-in fan/RGB controller in the case. I don't think it will plug into anything else, such as a motherboard. So the controller (and by extension the ThermalTake case) control both fan speed and RGB lighting, and the case comes with 3 fans you can add to it (you can purchase more if you want, the controller can support 8 fans I believe).
So unfortunately, If you want to control the fans and RGB lighting through the motherboard you will need to get different fans, the ones that come with the ThermalTake case can only be controlled by the built-in controller. I feel for you, the Thermaltake fans look great, and I actually purchased their Floe Riing CPU cooler but ended up returning it because it was incompatible with Asus Aura Sync. But yes, unfortunately if you're interested in RGB fans controlled by your motherboard your going to have to purchase them separately (and make sure they're compatible with Aura Sync).
Regarding addressable RGB strips, your motherboard comes with 2 non-addressable and 2 addressable headers, I believe. Any non-addressable or addressable strip will work, just make sure you have the proper adapter to match your motherboard. For example, the 3-pin addressable header on your motherboard could work with Cablemod's addressable RGB strip because the strip with comes with an adapter for Asus motherboards. Your motherboard might also come with an adapter as well. Most RGB strips marketed towards PC builders will come with an adapter, but if you get it from somewhere like Amazon you need to double check and make sure.
For example, I saved some money buying these Chinly RGB strips. These are generic addressable strips that could be used in any lighting system. Since I had an adapter already (came with my Asus Z370 motherboard) I didn't need anything else. This was also half the price of a Cablemod strip.
Anyways, hope that helps, good luck!
Those are what I'm using. Nothing fancy but they work.
Ordered [THIS] (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LSF4QDM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ARYZM74F47MOK&psc=1) yesterday. Gonna re-wire it to connect to my Corsair LNP.
I used WS2812B 60 LED/m strips and a ViVi Controller powered via a USB charger in the center console cigarette port.
