So i built a new pc and when i assembled it there was no image displaying and the CPU led was red. Tried various fixes like taking the CMOS battery out and replacing the RAM slots, also tried assembling it step by step (i install a part and then run the pc and shut it down.

Specs:
ryzen 2600
16 gb 1x 3000 mhz ddr4
rx 580 8gb
corsair 650w

Hopefully you didn't ben or break any cpu pins whn you put it in the cpu socket. Cpu's that are dead on arrival are rarer than hens teeth just to let you know. Good practice is to assemble all your parts and testing things before you actually install the components in your case.
