Can't figure out which slot is better for my 1x8GB stick

I have the H410M Motherboard, and I can't figure out which slot I should install the ram into, or if it would even matter. I have a Lexar 8GB DDR4 2666MHz stick.

Should I install it in DDR4_1 or DDR4_2

Would it even make a difference? I am doing this because Warzone stutters like hell on my pc, its a new build and I want to eliminate any issue.

 

CPU: i3-10100F

GPU: Asus 1660 Super OC 6GB Dual Mini

RAM: 1x8GB Lexar DDR4 2666MHz

Motherboard: H410M

PSU: Corsair CV650 80+ Bronze.

First to the left is the best in a 2 slot configuration.

It does not matter which slot you put it in.

Though getting another stick would probably help a decent amount.

strictly speaking, the one closer to the CPU socket is more stable in most cases for 2 slot config

 

but since you're not doing extreme OC where the minute difference matters, either slot is fine

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

I know my PC Specs should run Warzone at 100fps at 1080p medium, but it doesn't do that, can anyone give me an idea on why?

 

EDIT: More on the fps part, i get 50-80fps with stutters lasting around 5 seconds every 2 seconds. I only have teamspeak and geforce experience running. My windows is really lightweight.

Are you installing an additional stick of memory? 

If you only have 1 stick, get another one that is the same. 

Then, your system should run the games better.
