In the BIOS, enable D.O.C.P which is the AMD labelling for "XMP", an Intel trademark.
That'll apply the XMP profile (speeds and timings) as per the advertised spec.

Yes, you're losing performance running at 2133MHz opposed to 3200. Exactly how much performance, varies quite dramatically depending on the application, but with a Ryzen CPU, it's substantial.

...Could also be called AXMP on some boards. What board do you have?
