Onboard graphics not working

Hi. I've been having issues with my newly built computer. When I try to use the onboard graphics (I am using a Ryzen 3 2200g with Vega 8), I get no signal on the monitor, but when I use a dedicated gpu, it works perfectly fine. Problem is that said dedicated gpu is a crappy GT 210, and I would really prefer to use the Vega 8 graphics, mainly because I don't have a lot of money right now. (I'm a broke teen lol)
Solutions I have tried:
- Resetting the CMOS
- Using a VGA cable instead of an HDMI
- Using a different HDMI cable.

Is there a way I can solve this? And if not, is there some way I can use the GT 210 just as a display adapter while using the VRAM from the Vega 8 graphics? (I'm kinda new to the whole PC building thing, and I have built one before I did this one, which worked just fine.)

Specs:
Ryzen 3 2200g w/Vega 8
ASRock AB350M-HDV
Crucial Ballistix Sport Lt 8GB 2400

Typically, on most motherboards, internal graphics gets disabled when you install a GPU. Turn on the internal graphics by booting up and going into the bios. In the Advanced settings, there's a setting for the primary video adapter. Set it to internal graphics. This is shown on the FAQs page: https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/AB350M-HDV/index.asp#FAQ for your mobo, under "Q: When I use VGA card with onboard graphics AM4 CPU, onboard display adapter driver shows exclamation mark,
what should I do? (2018/3/1)". Connect your monitor to one of the mobo video outs and you should be all set.
