Question PC not booting up after being bumped into

Hello everyone. My PC was running fine a month ago and while I was using it someone called my name so I turned around to hear them because I had headphones on. Now one thing to note is that my PC is on the ground so when I turned, my foot hit the PC and then it shut off and turned back on however, it didn't give a single beep like it always does. Instead it just kept running without anything being displayed and not showing up on the wired network. After looking into the PC it lead me into a wild goose chase. I first RMAed the motherboard but once I got a new one I saw that it didn't fix the problem. Then I thought it was my CPU so I RMAed that too. Afterwards I RMAed the RAM which actually did slightly help. Once I replaced the RAM, every 20 or so reboots a screen pops up to reset the TPM chip. Although, every time I try to say Y or N with a keyboard, the system reboots and goes into the same no boot thing. I have tried reseting the CMOS and removing all the drives to see whether that might make a difference but nope it doesn't. Currently, it is plugged into a monitor using HDMI and not powered with all the drives disconnected and no accessories connected. If anyone has experienced a similar type of problem feel free to give any sort of advice. My specs are listed below.

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
Mobo: ASUS B450 Plus Gaming
RAM: Patriot Signature Premium 32GB
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X73
GPU: XFX SWFT 210 RX6600
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow
Drives:
- Hitachi 2TB HDD
- Toshiba 500GB SSHD
- Samsung 256GB SSD
- Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSD
PSU: EVGA 650W SuperNova
 
Tur off XMP in BIOS.
Try with single module first.
Then try with two modules in slots A2 B2.

4x8GB - is that two kits of 2x8GB ? This can cause problems.

BTW - your radiator should be placed upside down.
And top fan has no purpose. I'd remove it.

I can't really turn anything on or off in bios if the computer won't even post. Also I'm pretty sure the 360mm radiator is correct because almost everyone with a 4000d has their radiator with the pipes up and the top fan is meant to direct hot air out. 3 fans to bring in and 2 to push out.

Can't you remove extra ram modules leaving only single one?
Can't you try with two modules?
Then you should be able to get into BIOS.

Air bubbles collect in top of the radiator. With radiator hoses up, you're pushing those bubbles from radiator to cpu block all the time. Air bubbles impede liquid flow and may even shorten life of pump.
Hoses have to be down.

Unless radiator doesn't fit in proper orientation. Then you don't have a choice in placement.

You may want to watch this, if still not convinced.

With the swapping of the motherboard, has the BIOS been updated for the 5600X?
I got the Boot Repair Kit from AMD which gave me a Ryzen 3 1200 but still no output to change the BIOS. I also RMAed my PSU and still no results.

UPDATE: I fiddled around with one ram stick, a motherboard powered GPU and the cpu. It booted into the bios after pressing N for the tpm option. Then I updated the bios and put in the Ryzen 5 5600X I originally had. It still worked. Then I tried putting the GPU I had originally (RMAed [XFX 6600])… Yeah it doesn’t work again.
