How precise does the speed and timings have to be when adding a new stick?
Ive read a couple of places that matching 2 different pair of sticks can be a coin flip if it works.

Looks to be DDR4-2400 (1200 MHz) with 15-15-15-35 timings at 1066 or 17-17-17-39 at 1200.

This one https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820232153
same speed but timings slighty off at 16-16-16-39. Is that a big deal?

This one https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0AY-00PT-00008

same speed, all it tells me for timing is CL=17 and dual ranked

this similiar crucial one https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01BIWKP58/ref=asc_df_B01BIWKP581502794800000/?tag=shopbotca-20&creative=395285&creativeASIN=B01BIWKP58&linkCode=df0

same speed, same CL=17 but single ranked

There is an ebay option for the exact same model provided with the laptop.

but it looks to be used listings.

What is the best option to make this upgrade as smooth as possible?
 
Solution
just buy Identical stick you already have, look for model on the stick search for it
you mention an ebay option of exact model : HMA81GS6AFR8N-UH
if that is the model then you have these choices
