All the pinouts are in the manual, Page 8, but what interface are you using to connect to the PC?
With my FT-891, I use the USB connector for CAT, so only need to worry about audio. On the 450 (Which I don't have) I presume you will need a second cable for CAT, as it looks as though that is a traditional 9w D-type for serial data, meaning you just need a USB to DB9 serial adapter cable.

"Hello, technical support, how may I help"
Just joking.
The connection for the data plug is listed in the operating manual. If you don't have it a copy is available online.

Check out the links below how to run and set ft8 without buying a expensive interface, I followed these guides and have been for a few years without any problems. https://morsetutor.com/2015/01/yaesu-ft-450d-digital-interface/ https://morsetutor.com/2017/09/ft-450d-wstj-x-config/
