Just wondering i know that on older amd cpu's that a majority of heat was around in the corner areas, and so an x pattern was better for amd 3, and wondering if this is still true with the ryzen 1700 or if its more like intel and pea dot works better

Covering the entire Chip is what you should aim for.
The way I do it is to put small dots all over the chip and then use something like a plastic card to evenly spread it on the entire processor.
I try to make a thin layer of thermal paste BUT I never want to see the chip itself (the metal). So no matter how thin it is, I make sure the entire chip is covered.

This usually means you put a bit more than nessesary but there is very low chance you will put too little.

Not true. Too much thermal paste can be just as bad if not worse than having too little.
