Intel i7 12700k ram compatibility

I just recently did first PC build using Intel i7 12700k core processor. Unfortunately, I bought crucial DDR5 32gb 6000 MHz ram and I think it's too much for my cpu to handle and it keeps crashing randomly and showing a BSOD. I'm trying to get a replacement but am stuck because I'm limited to only using DDR5 thanks to my motherboard. When looking at my cpu specs on Intel, it says that memory is accepted up to 4800 mt/s for DDR5. am I reading this properly and will my cpu/pc only run correctly on DDR5 4800mhz? Or will it at least be able to run smoothly without crashing/BSOD with DDR5 5200 mhz.
Here are my current specs:
Cpu: Intel i7 12700k
Memory: crucial DDR5 32GB 6000 MHz
Motherboard: MSI B760 GAMING PLUS WITH WIFI
GPU: Intel arc 750
If anyone has any recs for DDR5 ram that'll run on my setup, please let me know! This is my third time having to replace my ram after having the wrong one!

Hi @PCNewbie 

Please find the list of compatible memory for your board, verified by MSI (click on the "Memory by 12th Gen K series" tab)
