Hello everyone!
I have an asus rog strix x470 and a pair of g skill trident z rgb ( 8 gb each )
If I place the modules in the manual suggested slots (A2 B2) I get an orange light and no display. If I place them in B1 B2 though everything works fine. Ive tried every combination and the only place that pc actually works is this one. Im planning to get two more 8gb sticks and Im wondering if Ill be able to have 32gb of total RAM or a black screen.? Thank you!!

Other parts :
Ryzen 5 2600x
Samsung 960 Evo
EVGA 650 G3
EVGA gtx 1060 6gb
Seagate Barracunda 2TB

You forgot to mention the make and model of your motherboard. Are you on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard? You will also need to provide either a link or the stickered information for both the sticks of ram in order for us to understand what they're spec'd to run at. I would also suggest that you invest in a ram kit as opposed to adding sticks of ram at a build.

ok here we are

One stick B1 : Boots but no display
One stick B2 : Boots but no display
One stick A1 : OK
One stick A2 : OK

With two sticks it works just if placed in A1 A2 otherwise it boots but with no display
