Your motherboard may not support it. Yea the ram can run at 3200mhz but idk about the motherboard. But like linus said in this video,

Enable XMP.

 

2133 is the base speed for all DDR4 ram, you'll have to enable the XMP profile in the bios for it to run higher.

from the "Does RAM Speed Really Matter?" video

"it can cause these kinds of issue from chip to chip or board to board or ram stick to ram stick depending on your luck, it can also cause less severe but equally annoying issues to come up at some point in the future"

 

yeah your board might not support 3200MHz, or maybe you didn't turn on the XMP profile?

Enable XMP (or XAMP on AMD platforms). On AMD systems, higher clocked memory is very useful. On the Intel side it's less important and will only yield a little more performance, depending on your use case.

Well that board can easily support 3200mhz, are you sure you have the right XMP profile chosen? Are you actually making sure to save the profile when exiting the bios?

If i have 2 sticks in my computer it runs at 3200mhz but when i put 3 or 4 in it goes back to 2133 so could there be anything wrong with my motherboard?
