What is it currently running at?
Shouldn't need to enable XMP to run at 2400 if you are running a 7th gen processor.

* Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2400MHz memory frequency is only supported by 7th Generation Intel® processors. Higher memory modules will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2400MHz.

** Due to Intel® chipset limitation, DDR4 2133MHz and higher memory modules on 6th Generation Intel® processors will run at the maximum transfer rate of DDR4 2133MHz.

it runs at 2133,i have a 6th gen cpu,bur with the one i had before,a 8 gb stick i had borrowed from a friend,i was able to use xmp to go to 2400mhz with the same hardware.With this 2x8 gb kit from g skill that max out at 2666mhz xmp is not possible
