i guess i'm asking what decides how a device is going to connect

Both host controller and device controller are negotiating for a highest possible bandwidth.
If a host controller supports speeds up to 3.0Gb only, then device controller will operate at 3.0Gb, and it doesn't matter if the device supports faster speeds.

Usually, SATA connectors on motherboards are separated by capability and could be marked by different colors. Some of them support up to 3.0Gb only and others support up to 6.0Gb.
Read a manual for your motherboard to find out, if there are any 6.0Gb connectors and where are they located.
