Hello bellow,

Get ether 1 module of this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MDJ54DB/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07MDJ54DB&pd_rd_w=KfNBv&pf_rd_p=8a8f3917-7900-4ce8-ad90-adf0d53c0985&pd_rd_wg=beq9f&pf_rd_r=GNQVDBZMPPW3ZJVNEWJK&pd_rd_r=8a17dc86-6a2e-11e9-8627-41445435c50e
to add to the one in the computer. Or buy 3 to add to the one in the computer if you want 16gb.
The single goes into the same color socket as the one installed. Normally the  black sockets on your model

Just a thought: try the crucial memory scanner. See what recommendations it gives you: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner?cm_re=us-top-nav-_-us-flyout-memory-_-us-memory-ad-scanner
