I added 16GB of Corsair Vengeance 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM to a gaming PC with an HP Pavillion Core i5 GTX 1050. The existing 8GB RAM was running at 2666 MHz, but the new RAM only supports 2133 MHz. There’s no way to enable XMP in the BIOS, and a forum user suggested this is likely because the motherboard automatically capped it at 2133 MHz due to low latency. Using low latency XMP might not offer significant benefits here and could be a waste of effort.

The benefit lies more in the increased memory capacity rather than reduced latency. Upgrading from 8GB to 16GB is a sensible improvement, so it seems you didn’t lose any effort.
