I am using Z790 tomahawk max Wi-Fi with corsair vengeance DDR 5 Ram 32gb intel i7 14700k ASUS tuf 4090 oc ASUS tuf 1000w gold power supply and Samsung 980 pro nvme ssd and got the pc built at Best Buy and when I picked it up he told me that he tried enabling expo or exp and the pc crashed so ram is running at default 4800 instead of 6000 and was wondering how I could get this working properly. Also I am wondering if my cooler is good enough for the cpu it’s a GA Trinity 2 360.
 
Thanks for the help. I got my front case fans at full speed with the L connect app.

Yeah, not ideal. Get them to a very low speed when the CPU temperature is low, so you don't have unnecessary noise and airflow in idle, which would only accumulate dust inside the PC over time. The only time when they have to spin up a bit is when you have high CPU temperatures, which happen under high CPU load. Then the heat needs to be carried out faster with more airflow. That's what the fan curve is for.

The only thing I haven’t managed to do is get the ram at 6000.

If did give you one thing to try here, if you read carefully. If you even have problems with DDR5-5600, i would ask them nicely, but firmly to replace your RAM kit with a similar one where XMP works with your system. I assume you haven't specified this exact RAM kit to be used in your PC, so when they select a RAM kit where XMP doesn't work for whatever reason, they haven't done their job right. Now, if you actually specified this exact RAM kit, then they cannot be fully blamed, but you can still ask about the replacing the RAM kit for a different one.
