32gb (16x2) RAM upgrade recommendations for AMD Ryzen 4800h laptop

I purchased a laptop with the AMD Ryzen 4800H (Asus TUF A17) which came with 16gb (8x2) sticks of 3200mhz, CL22 ram (Micron 8ATF1G64HZ-3G2J1).

I'm looking to upgrade to 32gb, as all my Chrome tabs chew through the 16gb pretty quick. Primarily use Chrome (lots of tabs, multiple gmail accounts), some gaming, and Excel (occasional data crunching). Haven't really kept up with RAM technology, but reading up a little bit, there seems to be a lot of stuff.

Any recommendations? Should I be looking at 3200mhz, or would 2666 work okay for me (fairly large price difference)? How important is latency? Seems like this laptop does not support XMP.

A couple options:
Kingston HyperX Impact Series 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 2666MHz CL15 SODIMMs (for laptop) $135 (canada-computers-kingston-hyperx-impact ... #p33125632)
Kingston HyperX Impact 32GB (2 x 16GB) - DDR4-3200/PC4-25600 DDR4 SDRAM - CL20 $230 (https://www.pc-canada.com/item/HX432S20IBK2%2F32.html)

Any other recommendations also welcome.
Here's my HEAT.
