Welcome to our HP Community forum!
I have good news and bad news for you.
The good news: yes, you can install 2x16GB G.SKILL Trident Z RGB RAM in your Erica3 (SSID: 87D6) motherboard!
The bad news: this 3200 MHz G.SKILL RAM is going to default -meaning, will get stuck at its 2133 MHz default ("SPD") RAM speed, which is something you really don't want, but there is nothing you can do about it.
The solution is to purchase non-XMP 3200 MHz RAM, such as this Timetec 2x16GB dual-rank RAM kit, as seen here in this Amazon-US link: https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Unbuffered-Computer/dp/B07FWLWXJK/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2.... Yea, preferably forget the RGB fluff.
Kind Regards,

Not sure what you meant by "not the dimm size" with regard to the RAM I referenced, as it is DDR4 PC4-25600, 3200 MHz, Non-ECC, UDIMM, 288-pin RAM, exactly what you need.
The potential problem I see with the Kingston Fury Beast RAM is this:
Meaning, because your PC lacks XMP access, this RAM may get stuck ("Plug and Play") at 2666 MHz. Look, I am not a 100% sure of this, but based on my anecdotal experience, I'm giving you this warning anyway.
You should be A-OK with this RAM (you'll need two modules of course): https://www.skroutz.gr/s/23388900/TeamGroup-Elite-16GB-DDR4-RAM-me-Tachytita-3200-gia-Desktop-TED416....
