So they are both sold separately, not in a bundle, BUT same model, manufacturer, Mhz, CL latency. (HX436C17PB4/8)
They do work, I boot and all and they are detected by the motherboard I was even able to manually change the XMP profile in the bios with no problems

I wonder if there is a way to tell lif they are running both in dual channel mode (through the bios or other methods), or if they just work does that means they are already running that way?

RAM: HX436C17PB4/8 (x2)
MOBO: Asus B550-F Gaming
CPU: Ryzen 5600x
 
Solution
if you run CPU-Z and look on memory tab it will show there if they are in Dual

If you bought both sticks from same store at same time there is a good chance they work fine together.
