take out cmos battery, wait for 10 seconds, put it back in, try it then

Try booting in with one stick, in the DIMM your motherboard manual tells you to fill first.

Try with the other stick too, to be sure, but it sounds like you got dead memory. 

 

If I were you, I would try just all dimm slots just to be sure

Double check ram are in the correct slots. On your board, they'll be labeled DIMM_A2 and _B2. Many Ryzen boards take several minutes before the first POST. If everything powers up with monitor plugged to GPU, give it up to 10 minutes before trying something else.

 

If you do get into the bios, update to the most recent bios release as they tend to improve system stability and memory compatibility.

How long are you letting the system run before you turn it off again?  Ryzen sometimes has extremely long post times especially the first time you fire it up.  I would let it sit there a minute or two powered up to see if it posts.

It has been said a few times, but just for good measure

 

First boot ryzen can take upwards to 5 mins 

Let's agree to disagree

Have you tried reseating the ram yet? If that doesn't work, try using 1 stick in every slot, and reseat the CPU.

 

If it bootloops, use 1 stick of ram and wait for it to turn off and on by itself 5 times, then it should be able to go to the BIOS.

I've been doing some Google searches and I'm not having much luck. I'm trying to figure out of the orange light indicates an error, or that the dram simply has power and is functioning correctly. I think there should be a light indicating the CPU is working, but I can't verify it on any web site.

 

If you can go through the usual troubleshooting steps, excluding ram, it may yield results. Remove and re-seat the GPU. Double check all PSU connections, including the 8-pin PSU connector tucked away at the top-left corner. Try doing all this with the board outside of the case, on the box the board came in (preferably with an anti-static wrist strap). If nothing seems to work, try removing the CPU and re-inserting it, applying fresh thermal paste. I left that one for last.

 

Before any of that though, I just thought of something else.. even though you've never been in the bios yet, it may help to clear the cmos using the jumpers, instead of the battery method. It couldn't hurt to follow the correct procedure directly from your board's manual. I'll link a picture of the page. Note the additional note at the bottom.
