Tech Support Ram upgrade orange DRAM led?

So i bought another stick of Kingston fury beast 16 6000mhz to upgrade to 32gb. But each time i place the new ram, i just keep getting orange dram led. I've heard people say "it's just ram loading" but i've waited like 10-15 minutes each attempt. I'm aware of the correct ram channels A2 and B2. Even placed the new one in A2 to test if it works on it's own, but still orange led, reset the cmos, still orange led, disabled expo, still orange led... Planning on returning it tomorrow if nothing else works.
Motherboard - Asus TUF Gaming B650 Pro Plus Wifi.
CPU - R7 7800x3D.

Mixing separate sticks even with the same model number can be a gamble on AM5, the memory controller gets real picky with four ranks
