I got the following setup:

Hard disk Seagate BarraCuda 1TB SATA-III 7200RPM 64MB
Memory Patriot Viper 4 Series 16GB(2x8) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit
MOBO ASUS TUF GAMING B550M-PLUS
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz
GPU MSI GeForce RTX 2070 VENTUS GP 8GB GDDR6 256-bit
PSU Seasonic S12III-550, 80+ Bronze, 550W
SSD Kingston A2000 500GB PCI Express 3.0 x4 M.2 2280

Question is if I can upgrade from 16gb ram to 32gb, so can I add 2 more ram sticks of Patriot Viper 4 Series 16GB(2x8) DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit on my mobo and not have any issues even if I use the 3200mhz profile D.O.C.P in bios ?
 
Ryzen CPU more likely to cause errors using unmatched ram. Unmatched being not from same set. More sticks you add, more chance of errors.

If you want more ram, buy a set of the size you want in total. Less chance of errors that way.

Buying 2 more sticks might work, it might also cause errors you don't have now.
