Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
For starters, please check the support page at https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-Z490...KE/support. You have pending BIOS updates; I recommend flashing to the latest version, which is currently 7C70v1E. After successfully updating the BIOS, restart your system and then return to BIOS to enable X.M.P for your RAM setup.
You can find a detailed guide here: https://youtu.be/pZ0X-QFSD1w.
Although you may use a different board, the main steps stay consistent.
If enabling X.M.P doesn’t meet your needs for everyday tasks, you might want to explore these resources:
