Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates the notebook will support 2 x 8 GB of memory.

I'd go with this kit:

Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4-2400 SODIMM | CT2K8G4SFS824A | Crucial.com

You can run this command to see if your notebook will support more memory than the service manual indicates:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

If the report indicates you can install 32 GB of memory (2 x 16 GB), then two of these chips should work:
