Just built new PC, Everything works fine (Fans spinning, Temps look okay when I CAN get into bios etc.) But my memory slots arent recognizing my ram sticks?? Only my third works and it isnt supposed to be in there its meant to be in the 2nd and 4th

Motherboard - B760-P Wifi DDR4
CPU - 12th gen Intel
Ram / Corsair 32 gigs (2x16) 3600
 
Yeah I reseated CPU last night still nothing, worth to try again and check for bent pins and stuff? Also how tight should my cpu cooler be

A matter of experience and feel.

My general experience is that when using a full size screwdriver to use only the tips of my fingers to tighten. Things in a computer generally do not need to be tightened until they physically stop turning.

If you can see the board edge on, you can often see the bowing caused by too tight of a cooler. Quite common with LGA1700.

Also have to make sure you are using the appropriate mounting hardware with your cooler.
