Need help with my Ryzen Pc

[Kharismen]

I have ryzen 1600x and msi b350 tomahawk, with 16gb of 3200mhz ram but ever since I built my pc its running the ram at 2133mhz. How do I fix this because I heard that ryzen works really well with higher mhz of ram.

You have to enable the Ram's XMP profile in the BIOS. Make sure you are running the latest BIOS version as Ryzen is picky with Ram.

Ive tried that but have 0 clue what I am doing when it comes to bios or even updating it.

See this thread. Most likely you will not achieve the stated RAM speed as most users experience, Ryzen is still a work in progress achieving RAM speeds. Ive got a very similar setup as yours except I have a ASUS mobo with Corsair 3200 RAM. Best RAM speeds i've gotten yet is 3066mhz.
