PLEASE HELP!

I have recently just built my first PC.... done it all correctly and everything turns on and works but haven't tested out on a monitor yet however, on the 'AMD Prime X570 motherboard' that i have it comes with an attached mini fan to the bottom right as you may have seen... this fan starts once the pc is turned on but then stops and doesn't come on again... is this normal or is it a malfunction within the motherboard?

I suggest you ask Asus Support that question.

Possibly the Motherboard VRM Fan has a Zero RPM feature where it will turn on at a certain temperature to maintain a quiet operation or it is supposed to be running 100% at the time but fan speed is controlled depending on the VRM temperature.

Only Asus can answer your question. I looked at a Prime X570 Board with an Active VRM cooling and it doesn't mention anything whether the fan should be running all the time or not.

That will be the X570 chipset fan..

I have an Asus Tuf Gaming X570-Plus and the fan spins continuously..

Just you telling me that it was called a chipset saved me... tried to look for its name in the manual but couldn't find anything, now i know it only turns on at a certain temperature if it gets too high. Thanks!
