I can not boot from USB3 port when I move it to USB3 gets recognised

Very
few BIOS's support booting from a USB 3 drive because there is little
room for a USB 3 driver in the BIOS. This means, also, that there is no
driver loaded when the Grub2 menu appears. Not realizing this, I
purchased a couple of 64gb USB 3 flash drives with the intent of loading
distros on them and freeing up space on my SSD drive.
I think I can partially solve this in Linux by installing a "minimalist"
distro on the SSD and then switching to the USB 3 drive after the
kernel has loaded. I know I can do it in Mint or Ubuntu by switching
after the OS has fully loaded but I'm thinking that there must be a more
elegant way of doing it earlier in the boot process. Anybody have any
suggestions?

I don't understand your problem.
I have been happily booting LiveUSB distros and fully installed distros from USB 3.0 sticks for a year and a half.
I have never found a computer that would boot from USB that would not boot from the USB 3 sticks.
Ditto for USB 3 external HDDs.
Obviously, if the board only supports USB 2 I am only booting them using that but they still boot.
More information is required, perhaps there is something else going on.

You
can boot USB 3 sticks all day long. Just not from all USB 3
ports. They'll boot from USB 2 at USB 2 speeds. This is not true in
every case. I imagine more expensive boards may have USB 3 drivers in
their BIOS but Asrock's tech supports confirmed that my MB does
not. The OS must load drivers before the USB 3 ports on the MB are
functional.
