My iMac was (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2020), 2x4GB 2667 MHz DDR4 with 2 empty slot, can I adding Samsung M471A1K43DB1-CTD 2x8 GB Laptop Memory Module - DDR4 - 2666 MHz - 260 Pin - SO-DIMM? Thanks
iMac 27″, macOS 12.4
I'd confirm this by going to the Crucial website and looking up the product. Their website offers to check for compatible RAM. Your screenshot shows compatible with laptops - it does not mention iMacs.
You need to buy RAM specifically made for Macs. Here is the crucial website with Mac compatible RAM:

Welcome to Apple Support Community.
No, you should not. For your model, you should only install either Apple Memory Modules or Crucial Memory Modules:

Do note that Apple does not manufacture RAM. Instead they use several suppliers including Hynix and Samsung. Also note that many retailers market these same RAM products at considerable savings when compared to Apple prices.
iMacs are extremely picky about RAM, the only 2 trusted vendors that provide very high quality RAM, that have reasonable pricing, have a lifetime warranty and great service are www.crucial.com and Macsales.com. It is your machine, you can add whatever RAM you want however the only RAM we know will work is either Crucial.com or Macsales.com RAM.
Thanks for your kindly reply, and how about following memory?
