Hi, I don't think anything short of having an identical working stock machine next to you, plus any parts including the hopper is going to help you. Your best bet may be to sell that machine and buy another that takes coins.

I think Rockston is right. I do not see the coin mechanism in your pictures on the inside. If it did come with the machine, you'll need to reinstall it.

In picture 2 I do see the hopper, so there is some hope for the machine since it didn't get removed, but you'll need to get the coin mechanism from somewhere else most likely. Make sure the hopper is plugged in. Now in order to make a machine coinless they make modifications to the machine. I don't know if this is done by putting in a dongle (as these machines can be hooked up to change machines and card readers, there's a connector that can be used for a dongle I think) or rewiring some of the machine (coin intake wired to one of the buttons so that you can add credits using a button). I know conversion kits are sold on eBay at times, and effectively you need to undo whatever is done through a conversion kit like this.

Sorry to be so generic, but I do not have a coinless machine myself so I'm not exactly sure what is done to make a machine coinless. I'm sure there are others on here that will know more.

Sorry guys I forgot to say that it have an unplugged coin mech and hopper inside I just don't have any idea where to plug it because it's my first time owning one.

I see a token acceptor behind the add on volume controls, judging by the springs you can see through the clean plastic.

The payout hopper and coin less mode will be related to these added on wires. One will be connected to the main PSU in the bottom left of teh machine. The other end. No idea. bu will interface with the token acceptor sensors and what ever button is used to add credits.
