I want to install two modules. (11-13-F3 & 11-12-F3) Can I do it?

I am looking to upgrade a laptop. I have two SODIMMS that are 8GB DDR3 PC3L-12800S running at 1600MHz. One is already in the machine running fine with this code on it: 11-12-F3, and the other one is in the mail on it's way to me. It's exactly the same as the installed module but it has 11-13-F3 written on it. Will there be a compatibility issue with the other stick of ram or the system?

I'd run a loop of Memtest to verify, the controller should pick the more lax of the timings and use that for both sticks.

It's a pretty minor timing parameter so it 'should' be fine but I'd test to make sure.
