No need to mismatch your laptop RAM. It should match for optimal performance.

I planned to upgrade your laptop's RAM to dual channel. The existing module is a 16GB SK Hynix 2R*8 PC4-2666V. I found a good offer from ADATA for 16GB at 2666MHz—should it work with your system?
Your setup will be functioning as expected. If you decide to swap one of the 8GB drives, it will remain in dual channel until that drive is full, after which performance will shift to single-channel. Using two of the 16GB sticks works seamlessly.
The initial spec is 16GB with a 2666MHz clock speed. You're planning to add another 16GB using a different maker and die.
Because both sticks match the same specifications, everything should be okay. In my setup, I also use two models from various brands, and it has performed perfectly for nearly two years.
