Hello, my laptop is HP 15-ay101tu. I decided to do a RAM upgrade and make it a dual channel. It has its factory RAM HK Hynix 4GB 1Rx8 PC4-2133P-SA0-11 (Part Number - HMA451S6AFR8N - TF NO AB 1631).
I am unable to find the exact same model. Will it be okay to put a RAM which was made by another brand like Kingston or ADATA that has the same speed, capacity? Will the latency be a major issue?
Here's a CPU-Z details on my RAM. I would really appreciate if you guide me. Thank you.

Hynix is a common OEM brand of memory used by manufacturers like HP to build systems. Retail memory like Kingston, Crucial will work fine. In fact, in my experience with DDR4 so far it is very flexible and will run in dual channel despite minor differences in configuration. I used Frys Patriot memory in a Zbook G3 and the module was not the same density as th eoriginal and yet they ran together in dual channel. Both were DDR4-2133.
But this memory on amazon.com is the same as the memory you have:
This would work, too:
Your speeds seem to be low on the screen shot you provided but the JEDEC table indicates your memory is CL=15 at 2133 speed. As are the above modules and they are both single rank which is what you want to look for. DDR4-2133 CL=15 and single rank.
