Solved: Used one ram stick on B2 and it finally booted. Thx for the help!

What are the full system specs? 

 

The DRAM light being on for a while isn't super abnormal depending on the system as that indicates memory training, and Memory training can take can take a while. However, it's usually at most 1-2 minutes, not longer unless you have 128GB+ of RAM. This is probably something with the sticks itself, and testing single sticks in each slot is a good idea, though for better recommendations we need to know the exact hardware combo.

What is the exact model number of the RAM kit? G.Skill has quite a few DDR5 6000 rated kits.

There's still a lot of 6000 rated Flare X5 kits, pull out a stick and look at the exact model number.

15 minutes straight or with restarts and re-seats inbetween?

if yes, you can try resetting CMOS and then trying just one RAM stick
