Welcome to our HP User Forum!
[EDIT:] According to: https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer/?searchtext=4G585AV&searchby=product, and: HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Angel | HP® Customer Support, your HP ENVY 34 Inch All-In-One Desktop PC 34-C1000 as fitted with an HP Angel motherboard with HP p/n: M81632-601 ("MBD, ANGELW, INTEL ADL-S,WIN"), can supposedly be are fitted with up to "4 x 32GB of DDR5 PC4-32000 (4000 MHz)", as claimed here: DDR5 RAM.
[EDIT:] The problem is that DDR5 RAM is NOT compatible with DDR4 RAM, and vice versa: Reminder: DDR4 RAM Won't Fit Into DDR5 Slots and Vice Versa | PCMag. Point being, that the HP's reference to "DDR5-3600" and "DDR5-4000" are errors, and pertain to DDR4 RAM.
[EDIT:] I'm afraid you will be stuck with DDR4 RAM on your PC. As pointed out by @SunnyEd, the HP ENVY 34 Inch All-In-One Desktop PC 34-C1000 does require DDR5 RAM.
Hope this was helpful.

I very much appreciate your feedback. And indeed, despite conflicting information such as found here: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp---compaq/envy-34-c1000-all-in-one
And here: HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Angel | HP® Customer Support
And also given the compatibility of DDR4 RAM with Intel 12th gen processors: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/134597/intel-core-i912900-processor-30m-cache-u...: "Up to DDR5 4800 MT/s [and] Up to DDR4 3200 MT/s", you are correct.
Upon further examination, the HP ENVY 34 Inch All-In-One Desktop PC 34-C1000 does in fact require DDR5 RAM, as seen here, for example: https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/5350457.
I stand so corrected.
I will [EDIT:] my previous comment.
