2019 27" iMac RAM upgrade.

My machine came with 16GB RAM. One 8GB card in each bank. I want to add 32GB. Are the factory installed memory cards in primary slots? Should I put the 2 16GB cards in their slots and move the 8GB cards? Does it make a difference?

iMac 27", macOS 10.15

Doesn't really make a differences. Your best bet though, is to just install the new modules in the empty slots.

Mac's are picky, where you buy RAM is a bigger deal.
