Cant detect AMD APU (integrated graphics)

i've been trying to use both my gpu and integrated graphics

i have ryzen 3  3200G , i tried to look for the device using   xrandr --listproviders , but with no luck

 
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x5a cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 6 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:Radeon RX 580 Series @ pci:0000:01:00.0 

i did make sure enable my the integrated graphics thingy from my bios  , and it dose take some of my ram .

im not sure what the problem is though , cuz when i enable it , i can make it the primary graphic porccessing device and it would work , but my GPU wont .

if i turn it back my GPU it works , but my integradted graphics wont .

i still see that its detected , but i cant really use it  uses it .

  lspci -nn |grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] [1002:67df] (rev e7)
0a:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Picasso [1002:15d8] (rev c9)

im not sure at this point if the problem is from my board or from something i did in my system

pc hardware :

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 5.13.13-arch1-1

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G (4) @ 4.000GHz
GPU: AMD ATI 0a:00.0 Picasso
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590
Memory: 2802MiB / 14899MiB

Edit :
i also tried to sort of look for the "use" the integrated graphics by adding its BusID thing in a  {/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-radeon.conf}  file but that also didnt work and i think i did it wrong

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Radeon"
	Driver      "radeon"
        Option "DRI" "3"
	Option "Accel" "on"
	Option "TearFree" "on"
	Option "ColorTiling" "on"
        Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
        Option "ColorTiling2D" "on"
	Option "VariableRefresh" "on"
	Option "ShadowPrimary" "glamor"
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"


        BusID          "PCI:a:0:0"


EndSection

im playing around with things so mostly i dont exactly know what im doing  i tried to read few articals , but most of them stop at the point where they enable the option in the bios  or when they check of the apu is working  or detected by xorg using the ( xrandr --listproviders ) command and usualy they get more than one provider
i only got one .
