My RAM is not running at the specified speeds

So I recently bought a new Asus TUF Gaming laptop model FX504GE-ES74 and it comes with 8GB RAM so I wanted to upgrade and bought a compatible Kingston HyperX Impact 2666MHz DDR4 CL15 260-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory (HX426S15IB2/8). I installed it and it was fine, but some days ago I downloaded cpuz just to check on everything (I'm trying to learn some things about computers) and I noticed that something was wrong with my RAM (As you can see in the pictures I'm going to provide) and the stick that came with my computer is running differently than the one I bought and as far as I know is affecting both sticks since Is running at 2400Mhz instead of the specified 2666Mhz. I am no expert at all and I have been searching all along and no one seems to have a solution since everyone says to change XMP profile or change RAM speed in the BIOS. The problem is that my BIOS does not provide any type of advanced tuning and I cant change anything from there. (maybe I'm wrong and you can, but I've searched everywhere. If someone could help me would be awsome! If you need more info just let me know.

tbh it's running at better settings now. If you make it run 2666, the factory stick will force using CL19 which is really terrible.

Check task manager see if the memory is the same

In task manager it says "speed: 2667MHz"

It's going to be based on the BIOS of the motherboard. If it supports overclocking, then you might be able to get the specified speed (2666 XMP).

 

Given it's an OEM laptop, I doubt there's much options in terms of overclocking er go XMP.
