Question DRAM red light, no POST, no lights on CPU cooler or motherboard (except red light)

Hi! So basically I built my pc about two weeks ago and about four days ago I added an older generation GPU in my PC as well as some fan splitters and then not turned on my pc for a day and when I came back and when I turned it on the RGB on one RAM stick wasn’t lighting so I decided to restart my computer
It did not restart so I had to force shut down.
After that, the CPU fan light and mobo light would not turn off so I turned it off and on again and eventually unplugging it (while it was off) made them turn off.
It won’t POST. I tried:

• checking the cables to PSU
• swapping the RAM sticks
• changing from A1/B1 to A2/B2

I am going to try:

• removing GPU
• starting with only one RAM stick
• unscrewing my CPU just a smidge because I saw some people online who had that issue

I am able to get all of my fans to work, all of their RGB to work, the rgb on the RAM lights up and the CPU fan and GPU fan both spin. The only light on the mobo that works is the DRAM red light indicator. There is no beeping.

I read the sticky and I ensured I did everything correctly, it was previously working anyways.

While the case is laying on it's side, relieve the mounting pressure on the cooler to the point where it's merely resting on the CPU's IHS, then see if that helps with your system's POST. Check to see if you have any bent or broken pins on the CPU socket.

Rams should be in slots A2 and B2, per your motherboard manual;

+ Your board has a Q-Flash Plus button, you can use that feature to flash the BIOS with the latest version;

Do you want me to put the PC back together with the CPU cooler that is that loose? Sorry I am confused...

The RAM was in the right slots as well but i changed them to the other slots I made the mistake in my post because I have my PC case flipped so the window is to the right (motherboard is upside down)
