Question MSI MAG X570S TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI RED LIGHT

Hi all so I got my my build “done” a week or so ago and although the computer turns on and the boot up sequence looks good I’ve got one concern and it’s a red light right by JUSB4 connector, I looked in the manual with no clear idea as to why it’s red but I did notice that if I allow it to go to sleep mode or if I don’t move my mouse or click any keys about a second or two after my screens shut off the red light goes off as well, and sure enough as soon as interact with the computer it wakes up and the red light comes back on. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

PS: The red led is located just slightly left of the JSUB4 connector (which is located on the bottom right corner of the motherboard)
