The laptop runs the memory at 2400 mhz and HP specifies DDR4-2400 but you say it is using a DDR4-2666 module. I would add another DDR4-2666 module if you are sure that is what you have now. I would not be surprised if you do have DDR4-2666 but I would not mix DDR4-2400 and DDR4-2666. I would stay away from Kingston Value RAM as it does not play nice with HP systems. Corsair Vengeance is gaming type memory with aggressive timings I would also avoid. According to ads for the Adata you ask about it is optimized for Intel systems. The specified HP 8 gig memory module is a Hynix product which is stock OEM stuff.
I know this is a bit pricier but a small cost to be sure of compatibility.
I might even suggest just adding a 4 gb module to have dual channel operation.
Post back with any questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

If the module you have is DDR4-2666 I would get this if you want 12 gigs:
