Check if your display cable is connected to your GPU. If it is, you don’t need to worry. Those lights might flicker for odd reasons, but if everything functions correctly, it shouldn’t matter much. It’s also possible the green light indicates a BOOT LED, which can sometimes stay on during BIOS setup and won’t power down until you switch to Windows.

However, without specific details from the document, it's unclear if they remain on during configuration or after startup. You might want to reach out to ASUS for clarification and improved instructions.
