Question No display after RAM upgrade

Hey all,
Recently tried to upgrade my older T-Force Vulcan Z 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3200MHz to a new kit of G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB (4x8) DDR4 3600MHz. The old kit used to and still works fine, but the new kit wont give me any sort of display, the computer simply turns on and fans spin and the light on my motherboard stays orange (with the other kit it goes orange->red->white->green when first booting)

Does any one know some way to fix this?

I have already tried updating my System BIOS and removing the CMOS battery to no avail

Thanks in advanced

my PC specs are as follows:
- Ryzen 5 3600
- Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming X570 Plus (Wifi)
- GPU: AMD Radeon 5700- Crucial P5 plus boot m.2 SSD
- Old ram: T-Force Vulcan Z 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3200MHz
- new ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 32GB (4x8) DDR4 3600MHz (F4-3600C19D-16GVRB)
 
A simple google search for the issue of the orange LED says 'It is an indication of a potential hardware or power-related issue that requires attention'. The light on the motherboard can help troubleshoot the issue.

Did you try reseating the RAM sticks (Remove it and put it back in after cleaning the contacts on the RAM)
The RAM might be seated improperly, thus causing the issue.

If this does not work, try using just one RAM stick, and booting up. if it works, then turn the PC off and try putting the second stick. Continue this till you either find the RAM stick(s) that seems to be causing the issue.

Hope you can get it fixed soon!
