Question Z87 Sabertooth Motherboard - Memory Capacity Question

So I have been working on upgrading my aging system which is currently using a Z87 Sabertooth board and a 4770. I bought 2x16GB of G.SKILL Ripjaw DDR3 which is on the QVL for the board to hopefully help out a bit since I was originally using 2x4GB. When I go to install it (trying in both the two beige slots as well as the two black slots) the BIOS and Windows are registering only 2x4GB of memory. I have updated to the latest (2017) BIOS 2032 and that still did not seem to help. Is something where clearing the CMOS might help me out a bit or is there a cap on what I can use for memory in the system? Any help would be much appreciated!
 
So I found 2x8gb G.Skill Sniper and dropped those in. Still showing up as 2x4gb sticks. Tempted to just pull the CMOS battery and see what happens
