HP OMEN 25L Desktop PC GT12-0000i (7WM05AV) will not run my ram at 3200 mhz, not even 2993 mhz

Hi first and foremost I hope this message finds you all well. I am having a bit of trouble with my Omen PC, I recently bought a ram stick set to replace the single ram stick which was factory installed  the ram sticks in question are

"TeamGroup T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 PC4-25600 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit TLZGD416G3200H - Gray"  can be found https://www.microcenter.com/product/632928/teamgroup-t-force-vulcan-z-16gb-(2-x-8gb)-ddr4-3200-pc4-2...I was able to install them but they run at 2400mhz under what the max on the mobo of the regular dorado mobo supports (up to 2993) or the dorado oc (max 3200), I did go into the bios, but XMP seemed to be gone when looking around in the advanced tab, I did see the custom option and tried 3200, 2993, don't remember exactly if I tried 2666, but the ones I did try all that would happen is it would turn on, shut off, turn on shut off, then stay of for a little bit if it did and make beeps every few seconds then finally work, but would basically reset back to 2400 mhz. How would I go about this, is this a proprietary thing where they HAVE to be hyper x or what way can I fix it to setup the ram correctly. One more thing for my own knowledge does dual channel work the same on here as in other motherboards where dual channel is either slot 1 & 3 or slot 2 & 4. I heard it depends on the motherboard but couldn't find much info on this build   Thank you for your help in advanced.
