Is this your computer: HP Slimline 290-p0043w Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support
The maximum amount, and speed, of RAM is listed on the above web-page.
Given that the computer was released in July 2018, the limit seems quite small, by today's standards.

That's where I got confused before. The HP specs say 8 Rams max for 64 bit machines but the Crucial website
tells me I can install 32 Rams (16x2). I'll have to contact Crucial to see why they say something different . Thanks.

Or, take your computer to an "owner/operator" computer-store.
Get them to try two 8GB sticks, or two 16GB sticks.
If it works, buy the sticks from them, to "support a local business".
If it does not work, you might have to pay a small fee ($25 ?) for their expertise.
