I don't know what else to do First, you need to take the base and the antenna and slide it into the slot on the motherboard. Then, you can screw in the cables on the back of the motherboard. Finally, you can put the Edit 1: Have ordered a different motherboard (ASUS ROG STRIX B650E Gaming Wifi) to see if there's an issue with this one, should be here tomorrow. Will update then.

Wifi worked. I know why it did not detect your wifi connection, since your motherboard has wifi it needs driver. Drivers tell the computer how to use the antennas. Search up your motherboard on google, then find it, press support, click drivers and tools, select your operating system, scroll down and find it under "Wireless" the download it. It won’t work without the antenna. Also pedantic comment- “wireless wifi” is redundant because the “Wi” part stands for wireless already and there is also no such thing as “wired wifi” that’s just called Ethernet. 2. xToggle.

I just built my first PC and I used the aorus b550 elite ax v2 and the Wi-Fi antenna is not working, I’ve tried downloading 1.0 and 1.1 amd wifi drivers and looking at device manger and I don’t think it shows up there. I looked in the BIOS nothing was there it seemed. Replacing the wifi module, or just the port on it, should not be hard. Most difficult thing will be pulling the board. It's a little metal case held down by a couple of screws with a mini-pcie card inside. Example: The replacement antenna connector should cost about five bucks. An entire Wifi6 module, maybe $25.
