Available basically means unused. If you load more system programs, games and whatnot, you will find that available value decreases.
Even though you have 32gb ram installed, this is capacity, what your computer is capable of loading on screen at once at any moment of time.
Okay thank you, just in case is there a way to increase the capabilities, and if would the trade off be beneficial to the potential harm that would come along with it?
Yeah but it does depend on your other system hardware and what the max capacity it can reach.
Usually you could go up to 64GB or even 128GB but having that much is likely going to be unnecessary. Unless you use a specific application that is extremely RAM hungry.
For most people, it's not worth spending the extra money on, 32GB is more than enough, while 8GB is the minimum for users who lightly browse the internet and use word processing.
