Yes, it is compatible.

Ram compability is pretty simple.
Is it the correct version? (DDR3 VS DDR4 VS DDR5)
If no then no
If yes then it should work.
Only reason it wouldn't work is because of either bad ram, bad slots, bad cpu mount or (less common now, but was pretty common in first gen ryzen) poor cpu memory controller.

The qualified vendor listing on your MB website is a guideline of specific kits that were tested and validated to work, but practically every kit should work.
