I'm back once again seeking guidance. I work with computers pretty regularly and consider myself extra safe when working on them.
Current Issue: No power to my MOBO
Good things / Troubleshooting:
Good power supply (for sure swapped onto other pc).
I plug the MB and CPU power connectors into the MOBO ensure they are secure.
Tested outlet it's good to go powers my current monitor.
CPU is set into place properly (as far as I know I have not removed the liquid cooler to check but it set into place and provided normal resistance when locking into place initially did a little nudge test to ensure it wasn't loose.)
Wife and I were incredibly safe when assembling this computer it was assembled over some carpet but we were incredibly incredibly safe making sure we were properly grounded and discharging static probably too much we looked like fools always reaching over to grab metal every few seconds ahha.
Made sure all the pins for the front IO panel were installed properly according to manual
Never had power plugged in until the very end when we tested power on.
Even made sure the CMOS battery was in the correct way bc I've seen that before XD!!
Bad Things:
Mobo does not light up at all never did.
Attempted to jump mobo with screw driver and no sauce
****** My thoughts either the MOBO is bad or the CPU is improperly seated but at this point after being tightened down twice the AM4 pins on that 1700 are screwed if that's the case. Please all thoughts and help is appreciated even negative comments. Really could use some help here. ******
 
Try taking the board outside the case (you would anyway, if RMA-ing it), leaving only CPU and CPU cooler installed, both 24 and 8 pin power cables connected. No other components/wires. Power on the power supply and start the board by shorting the 2 pins. If still no go, I suggest RMA-ing the board.

Yep no go I removed board and made sure nothing was touching it the 780T corsair carbide case has built in motherboard standoffs making it nearly impossible to screw it up. Only thing in the board was 1 ram CPU and the MOBO made sure everything was good and no light.

I know that basically everything testable other than the mobo is good so looks like it's hitting the scrap heap next weekend.
