Why doesnt my Ryzen 5 7600X work with my NZXT N7 B650e AM5

Why doesnt my Ryzen 5 7600X work with my NZXT N7 B650e AM5? I've tried literally everything, and I know everything is correct and that I'm using the right parts for this build, byt no mater what I do, I just keep on getting a red light for the CPU, it doesn't even post. It is NOT the pins or pressure, it is seated the correct way.

Please help, thanks!

Tried removing the CMOS battery?

The CPU or Motherboard could be DOA.

Try one RAM stick at a time. The CPU and RAM are both critical to POST and it can get stuck on the CPU test with bad RAM (And stuck on RAM with a bad CPU). If it has the same issue with both sticks then you likely have a faulty CPU or motherboard. If it POSTs with one of the sticks, but not the other then a stick is probably faulty.
