Yes, it is possible to combine two RAM sticks of varying sizes as long as they share the same brand, model, and speed.

Is your motherboard compatible with Flex Memory mode? Otherwise, it may not function properly.
Images of the labels on both rams? What CPU and motherboard? You probably meant those bare green PCB OEM rams from Hynix, Micron, or Samsung. If they’re from the same brand, the ICs should work together, reducing compatibility problems (issues with ICs not communicating).
Assuming the RAM isn’t at extreme speeds or timing, you can generally pick any two slots you prefer. For dual-channel performance, place one stick in slot 1 or 2 and the other in slot 3 or 4. The choice of 2 and 4 is common because of wiring conventions, but you’re free to try combinations like 1+3 or 2+3, or even 1+4. Now that I mentioned it, have anyone actually checked how much faster these setups could be? It would mainly involve overclocking, and you’d need to ensure it doesn’t hit any limits in the memory controller or RAM modules themselves.
