How to verify that the 32MHZ crystal is actually working (nRF52832?

I am using nRF connect SDK v2.9.0 with a custom developed board that looks like this:

I tried the 'Bluetooth LE LED Button service' sample as it's and noticed that nothing was working. I grapped my logic analyzer and hooked it up onto the 32MHZ but nothing is showing. I mean other functionalities like zepyrRTOS, PWM, GPIOs, I2C, etc...  are working successfully but not BLE.

does the nRF52832 have an internal clock through which it works by default and if so, how does it use the external clock. what is the first thing to debug?

this is the crystal I am using:

and these are the schematics:

  • The next thing I doubt is the carrier frequency IDK, I have access to an old spectrum analyzer Agilent E4402B but I am still searching for a compatible connector to it as the antenna switch on board is an SWF connector. So, I am still searching for a connector to connect that old spectrum analyzer to the SWF connector. Also, searching for scripts to test the carrier frequency and calibrate crystal load caps.
