The Qualified Vendor List (QVL) HERE only shows up to 2 x 16GB. So if one slot is broken I would stick to a 16GB module that is on the QVL.

Your manual says this.

"2 x DDR4 DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB of system memory "

So I would think 16 GB max per slot.

Hello, thank you all for helping i was wondering, is it possible to fix the ram slot? or is not worth the money and i should get a new motherboard?

and btw, i don't really need that much stuff connected to my PC like sli tec or those things so in case if i buy a new motherboard you guys think the mini itx is not worth the money and i should get a ATX or its no big deal for me since i don't use the pcie slots?

Thank you!

Bad ram slots generally aren't fixable....in my world anyway. I would go for a new MB.

....and I'd go with an ATX because I like big cases...but do whatever works for you.

I agree, you cannot fix it, so consider a new board. If you go with a full ATX you have a lot more flexibility although it may not fit your current case.
