That would depend on your motherboard. It may be possible that you'll need to update the BIOS. It would depend on the current BIOS that is on your motherboard. As you mentioned, AM4 motherboards are compatible with 2000 series and 3000 series CPUs, but the BIOS version would determine if it knows how to communicate with the CPU properly.You can find your BIOS in your System Information window, which you can find by typing "System Information" in the start menu.If you can share what motherboard you have currently, we can look more into this with you!
