Only a single RAM stick found on B450, occasionally two as well.

Hello people! I'm in a serious pickle here. I just assembled my first system (yay me!) and everything is going fine except for the following: only one ram stick is detected in the bios. Here's what you need to know about the situation and what I did to troubleshoot: 1. System specs: 3700X, 2x16GB G.Skill Ripjaws 3200 (compatible with ryzen 3rd gen), Gigabyte B450m-DS3H, GTX 1660 SUPER (I know specs look weird for a gamic PC, it's not for gaming). 2. Ram installed in slots 2 and 4 on the motherboard, tried reseating, cleaning contacts, using one stick, here's what I got: Stick 1 in slot 2 and stick 2 in slot 4: 16GB detected (one stick) Stick 2 in slot 2 and stick 1 in slot 4: 16GB detected (one stick) Stick 2 in slot 2 alone: Boot loop 3. BIOS only detects one memory in the 2nd slot, Memtest detects 2 ram sticks but still reads as 16GB, CPU-Z detcts 2 sticks in dual channel at 32GB, Task manager detects 16GB, HWiNFO detects 2 sticks at 32GB. I currently don't have access to a different ram kit or motherboard to try swapping, and I was hoping to fix it by myself rather than go to a service center during 'rona. Thank you!
BIOS has been updated and the CPU appears to be functioning properly. Apologies for not including these details earlier.
