The issue you face is the number of slots (4) and the amount of RAM your system could support (max)
Using two slots we can use:
Now using four slots we can get to these levels
Now to confuse you! The more DIMM slots used the faster the RAM I/O! But, don’t let that be your focus! Think are you likely need to boost the system again in the future. If you are likely, you would like want the denser SO-DIMM’s only using two slots with the idea you can then add in more later. Besides you currently have two SO-DIMM’s in your system now which you might as well continue to use.
OK, last issue what is your work process? As the amount of RAM (and storage) should be based on what your process needs. A writer won’t need much RAM unlike a video producer or a photographer who work on large projects.

Im a publisher so i need adobe products (Ps, Id, Ai, Lr)…
@Anushka - What is the size of your work 100 pages or less? Are you planning on publishing more written or more photographic work? How many projects are you working across in a week?
now we working on 3 publications of Art books with full pictures and its more then 500 pages....
@Anushka - I would go with 64GB of RAM as you are likely to get into larger works.
Now it gets tricky! Do you go with the two slot solution or go with the four?
If you think you'll be using your system for greater than 5 years then going with two slots gives you a future option (don't forget you can still use your current RAM in this config as well), if you are likely to jump to a newer system in a few years using the four slot solution would make sense.

Like Anushka case,
I installed 4*16Gb RAM DDDR4 Samsung to upgrade my mid 2020 Intel iMac.
Only mounting any 16Gb piece into 2 slots bank 2, 4 can give max 32G. RAM bus speed 2667.
Installing all 4 slots 16Gb each gives 64Gb RAM bus speed reduced to 2133. Very funny with Apple.
