Pro B650M-P Motherboard - Monitor Has No Signal - SOLVED

Figure I might as well give this place a shot...
So for the past week, I've been trying to build a new PC (my 2nd one), and everything else works fine... however, I am not getting any signal to my monitor, and cannot even get to the BIOS.

The debug LED lights for the CPU and DRAM light up, however I have checked both multiple times, and there is no issue with them.
I tried plugging the RAM in different slots thinking that might help, but nope. The CPU is firmly in place too. I tried both monitors (one DP, one HDMI), and I know they do work, but nope. I tried them in both the motherboard and GPU also.

I figured maybe taking the CMOS battery out for a few minutes to see if that might do anything (as was the case with my last build, typical I get these issues, huh), but nope.

I'm at a loss of what to do, I've tried everything I could find. Could it be a faulty motherboard? Is there something I haven't tried?

Besides my motherboard that's in the title, my specs are:
GPU: MSI GeForce 3060 Ventus 2x
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
RAM: TEAMGROUP Elite 16GB (x2) DDR5

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated, and I'd probably name my first born after you
Thanks!

EDIT: The issue was the DDR5 RAM not being in as well as it should have. DDR5 requires a bit more force to install than DDR4, apparently.

With the CPU+DRAM LEDs, or any of the first three LEDs, you will never get a signal to your monitor. The only chance is with the BOOT LED or with no LEDs on.

Make sure the DDR5 modules are fully in the RAM slots, see here. It seems to require a high amount of force sometimes, more than expected. More proof.
Run a single module in slot A2. Then you can also try the other slots using a single module.

Make sure to wait an ample amount of time for memory training to complete, initial memory training can take minutes (!) on AM5, just sit and do nothing.
Please also list your exact RAM kit model, drives, and PSU model.

I'm not sure entirely sure what you mean by RAM model kit, but the label on the RAM says
"TED516G4800C40BK
16GB DDR5 4800 (1Rx8)
CL40-40-40-77 1.1V"

The PSU is an MSI MAG A550BN 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply.
As for drives... I really don't know.
However...

Yeah the problem was the RAM not being in correctly, it's working now! Thank you so much!
