Question Did I fry my motherboard?

[DVLIsaac]

I just bought a new motherboard (the cheapest one that works with ryzen 3000 out of the box)
Msi a320m-a pro max
I bought a Ryzen 3 3200g apu, and 2 ddr4 viper 3200mhz blackout 4gb sticks
On paper everything is compatible
I assembled everything on a really old case (it was the only one I had)
I tried to boot, but it didn't even post
I immediately thought it was the Ram's fault, but I don't have any other ddr4 sticks to try
I disassembled the computer, placed my motherboard on a cardboard box, assembled everything again, only this time it was on the cardboard box and it still didn't boot
I looked at my motherboard, and in the back it has written "Case standoff keep out zone"
The case I used doesn't have removable standoffs, and one of the standoffs is on the keep out zone
I removed the ram, turned it on and there were 3 beeps, so it gives me hope that the motherboard is not dead
Did I fry my motherboard? Or is this a ram related problem?

Are there any Debug lights on the motherboard that come up when you try to boot? That may give you an idea on why it's not able to POST.

Have you cleared the CMOS?
Have you tried booting with 1 stick of RAM and no drives connected to see if you can get into the BIOS?
What do the small EZ Debug LEDs (above the 24-pin power connector) show when you boot?
