Strange Situation. Missing hardware. please guide me!

So Bonjour everyone hello.

i accomplished something for the first time ever last night at age 36. i performed my first clean install of windows 11 with just research and guides and i did'nt screw it up.

 

just one little problem now, only half my ram is visible and half my ssd is available also thats only what i have usable too. my pc has 32gb of ram and a 1 terabyte ssd. In my setting after the clean install the system only reads half my ssd at 500gb and half my ram at 16gb. This pc has double that these specs shown in settings. so what happened to the rest after my clean install of windows and how do i get it back into use for myself

 

Does anyone know how i would access my full ram and ssd, i have been looking through bing and google guides for the last 4 hours and nothing is fixing the problem for me im hoping the community here can help me.

 

thanks in advance if you can fix this
