GSKILL Trident Z RGB 3200 compatibility with Ryzen 5 2600

Hello, I recently built a new PC and was using a 2400 speed 2x4 kit and decided to upgrade to GSKILL Trident Z RGB 3200 1.35v 2x8. The old ram kit ran at the proper speed but the GSKILL initially detected at 2133 and 1.20v, so I changed the timings, frequency, and voltage manually in BIOS. I could not get it to boot at 3200 and tried lower speeds until it successfully ran at 2933. It worked fine for a couple hours but today it gave me numerous blue screens on multiple reboots, so I lowered the speed to 2800 and it has been stable tonight since doing so. I am just wondering now why it won't run at the proper speed because my motherboard is supposed to support up to 3200. Here is the hardware I'm using, any help would be greatly appreciated:

AMD Ryzen 5 2600
ROG STRIX B450-F gaming MB
GSKILL Trident Z RGB 3200 1.35 2x8
EVGA 600 watt power supply
Powercolor Radeon 580 Red Devil 8gb GPU

The timings I used were: 16 18 18 18 38 and 1.35v

well that labeled speed is marketing trick
ram is clocked to 2133mhz, where it has XMP profile for 3200mhz overclock on selected boards (top end intel boards in 99.9% cases)

tfaw at 30 might be low at 2933, smt around 37-39 should be there

this could help

anyway ull still need to run memtest and setup your timings slowly until ull get it stable
u can also try to raise soc voltage a little bit up
or look around on overclockers forums to get some ideas on timings used

It is common for overclockers for if you are going to overclock your hardware, it would cause problems.
Because your motherboard is supporting that speed and your ram cards, doesn't mean it would work that easy.
Think about heat, stabily, motherboard structure and room temperature.
What i mean with this simplefied: more overclocking = better performance = more heat.
if your pc cannot cool your pc enough with the extra performance, it would cause problems and even damage to your pc.

Other timings are rrdl-8, rrds-6, I didn't see tfav but there is a tfaw and that number is 30, tcke- 7

I do not know much about this at all, and only knew to change it manually by finding other answers on this forum. I don't know what the numbers mean so please forgive my ignorance! I just hoped it would run at the speed labeled. I realize heat could be an issue but I'm checking my temp and the CPU is currently at 47-52 degrees at the 2800 speed. I did not check the temp when it was at 2933.
