I think I messed up... Need help troubleshooting MOBO problems.

I am currently on day 3 of trying to build my new PC. Here are the parts:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
MOBO: MSI B550-A PRO
GPU: Zotac GAMING AMP Holo GeForce RTX 3070 LHR 8 GB Video Card
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 32GB DDR4 3600

Here is the saga so far.

Day 1:
Assembled all components and placed them into the case. It was late so I decided to do cables and stuff next day.

Day 2:
I connected all the cables and tried to power on: My RGB RAM was lighting up, as well as case fans (although they were not spinning). However, the EZ debug light was solid on the CPU part for a few seconds then it jumped to VGA. I tried taking out and reinstalling the GPU to no avail. I was getting frustrated and foolishly jumped the gun thinking that my BIOS may be out of date and interfering with my CPU. I removed all components except for CPU (I had a cooler and thermal paste installed) and flashed the BIOS to latest version. Now when I boot up the light goes past CPU fine but not DRAM. When I plug in my RAM they no longer light up as well. I have not tried plugging in GPU after this point.

Day 3:
Here asking for help.

Did I brick my MOBO? Should I try a CMOS reset or flashing to a previous version (Talked with an MSI support person and they said this was possible)? Any help would be appreciated!
 
I would continue working with MSI and flash to the previous working BIOS version before doing anything else. You may be in an RMA situation and you don't want to do anything that might put you in danger of not being able to RMA. (return)
