Not enough information to go on. Please Describe your component Model:

-Motherboard
-CPU
-RAM

Otherwise try to check on "Task Manager" --->"More detail" ----> Performance-----> Memory
does the number on it are the same?

My motherboard is a Asrock B450 HDV R4.0
My Cpu is a Ryzen 3 3200g
My ram is G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)

Check Via BIOS from here on.

-Turn On PC
-as soon ASRock Logo Appears (Repeating click F2)
-Find the Info of Memory Listing
-Check Bios Version

Otherwise i did do some digging:
you can try out the Bios update:
https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M-HDV R4.0/#BIOS

and also,it did not listed on RAM Compatibility for the 3600 speed.

What does Windows say honestly it could just be a bug with the driver or the application.

First check that all your modules are in the correct slots stated by the manual and they are showing up in the bios. If it says 8GB in bios, check your modules to make sure they are properly seated in the slots.

If it says 16GB in bios, but only 8GB in Windows, you may have to just change a setting to stop Windows from reserving 8GB of ram. open the Start menu and type msconfig and open msconfig. Open the boot tab and then click the advanced options tab. Uncheck maximum memory if it's checked off and click ok and then click ok again to close msconfig. Reboot your system and check it again.
