7800 XT not detected MSI PRO B650 w/ 7600X - About to tear out what little hair I have left

So did a new build last night of a MSI PRO B650, 7800 XT, Corsair 32GB DDR5 RAM CL30, 7600X CPU, and a Corsair RM750e. Everything went well up until the first time boot. I just get a little bright white LED saying it does not detect GPU. Long story short I tested an old 1060 Nvidia in the x16 slot and BAM, works no problem and goes right into the BIOS, everything shows its all running and functional. Same with an old RX 580, works no issue.

Oddly enough, putting the 7800 XT in the x4 slot works, so I installed OEM Windows on a SSD thinking i would get this done and then swap the card back to the x16. Putting it back into the x16 slot does nothing and now im back to square one.

Any suggestions because now I am REALLY regretting this MSI mobo purchase because apparently this is common but no one ever seems to have an answer. Does anyone have a solution?
