I just built a new PC and upgraded my CPU, motherboard, and cooling system, but I'm noticing that Battlefield 6 is only using about 11 to 12 GB of my 32 GB RAM. Previously, on my old setup, everything was running perfectly. What's going on?

Wait a second, what exactly is happening? If you're not facing any crashes or stuttering, and the game runs fine, the lower RAM usage could just mean your system is optimized. But if your FPS dropped significantly after upgrading, we should look into whether your new components are compatible and configured correctly.
Have you considered if you need a fresh operating system install after the hardware upgrade? Sometimes old drivers or files can cause performance issues. If you did a fresh install, it might also have fewer background processes running, making it seem like the game isn't utilizing your RAM well.
It sounds like the game is only using the amount of RAM it needs, which is actually pretty normal. Just because you have 32 GB doesn’t mean it will always use all of it, especially if your performance in-game is fine. If the game runs smoothly, it’s not necessarily a problem.
You might want to check if your RAM sticks are recognized correctly in Task Manager. Also, did you enable the XMP profile for your RAM? Just a heads-up, games like Battlefield don’t typically use the entire RAM available, so it could be normal. If you're experiencing issues outside of RAM usage, we should look into that instead.
