New build boots to bios instead of my bootable USB windows drive

I just purchased a new motherboard (Asus B850-E WIFI) , a new CPU (AMD Ryzen 9850 X3D) and new RAM. After I put my PC back together with the new components, I tried reinstalling windows from a bootable USB windows 11 drive. Everything seemed to be going fine, but my computer restarted during installation and brought me back to the bios.

Now every time I boot my computer up, it goes straight to the bios, showing my bootable drive and "Windows Boot Manager". If I try to restart with my bootable drive listed first on the boot priority, it just goes back to the bios again in an endless loop.

The only things I've tried so far is just reinstalling Windows 11 on my USB again and reverting bios settings back to default, but I'm seeing the same issue. Any advice would be appreciated!
