CPU-Z showing my RAM is default clocked

Hi! I recently upgraded my rig to a 3700x x570 Taichi and 32gb 16x2 3466 Dominator Platinum RGB - I was in the bios and enabled overclocking for the RAM and set the frequency to 3466 and whenever I go into the bios it displays that it is still 3466 but my CPU-Z is showing that my RAM  Frequency is at 1066mhz, I know it's halved on there meaning it's showing 2133mhz instead of 3466, I was going to try changing it with Ryzen Master but seen loads of people saying to only overclock in the bios, i'm kind of lost and not sure if CPU-Z is wrong or if it's just not overclocking properly and I may be losing performance since it's a 3700x.

What do you mean? @COUPER MILLAR This is my first time using AMD so I'm very new to it.

Also I'll add that my CAM software for my Hue+ ( and old kraken) Does display that I'm using 32GB of Ram but it doesn't show my speed:

Also my iCUE software for my headset shows this:

In the bios you should be able to go to the oc tab and adjust the memory speed. Instead of just selecting the stock xmp profile set the memory speed to say 3200mhz. If you haven't done so already reseat your ram too. And finally not judging but review your mobo manual and make sure that you have installed the ram in the correct slots

I did adjust the speed to 3466 and whenever I go back into the bios it still shows 3466 on the OC tab. Also i have them in the first and third slots "A1 and A2". Should they be in A1 and B1? I know with Intel it's usually 1 and 3.
