Make sure gear down mode is enabled. try upping SOC voltage to 1.1 if it's not already set to this, up to 1.2 is safe so if 1.1 is no good then try increasing in steps up to 1.2.

If still no good then take out 2 sticks and see if you can boot at XMP then try the other 2 sticks just to make sure none are faulty.

Unfortunately it does happen. There is no guarantee that XMP will actually work. The only thing you can do is take down the XMP settings and use them as a baseline to attempt manual overclocking. Possibly try with all the timings the same but decrease the frequency to 3000. There are plenty of things you can try.

Unfortunately isn't only about the RAM. Motherboard and CPU play their part too.
The Ryzen 1000 series where quite picky with RAM, 2000 series no so much, 3000 series no issues, AFAIK.
But as your using a 3000 series and a 500 series motherboard, I would bet the issue is the RAM.
3200MHz isn't that high for RAM, and if it's sold as a 3200MHz I would expect (at least with your setup) to be able to run at advertised speeds.
Many users had to use lower speeds during the 1000 series, or even 2000 series, but now, I would bet the RAM is playing up.
Also, if comes to replace the RAM, I would suggest to go for 2 x 8GB, as 2 is less of a lottery than 4.
Here I use 4 x 8GB, 2 since my 1600x, 2 bought later. Running at 3600 no issues.

Tired set your Vram to 1.35v manually?

are these new ram or used ones that you knew was working before? If new maybe seek return and get a new set.
