Mixing RAM is hit and miss - computer may work or computer may not boot.

Only way to know is to try them together.

Thanks for your reply & there both 3000mhz and DDR4 just one says 1x8 and the other says 1x16, just a little nervous I don't want to break anything 🙁

this is my answer from lots of other threads (just copied them):
this has been asked a lot by others
answer is
Yes, you can mix every RAM you have
at a chance of it can fail (most likely around 10-20%)

if the mixing success,
the RAM speed will matched to the slowest one (i.e your 2400Mhz RAM will match its speed to the 2133Mhz RAM), and the memory bandwidth will accumulated ( 4+8 = 12)

if it fails, various error happens (collection of other's experience of fails)

If you want to attain 100% success chance, then your option is to go for a dual ram kit (this RAM kit has been tested to works as Dual-Channel)
