RAM and DOCP(XMP) Question

Hi there. Just joined this forum and this is my very first post.
Recently bought a custom gaming rig from a performance pc builder in singapore(aftershockpc.com).
Ryzen 5 5600X
16GB Corsair vengeance pro RBG Ram(2x8gb)
Gigabyte rtx 3080 10Gb OC GPU

If I were to buy 2 more sticks of the exact model and speed of ram to make it 32gb total, do I just install it direct and it will work?
I’m asking this because I know ram speed has to be activated via DOCP in the bios to achieve the full advertised speed. So I’m assuming as a gaming pc company, the builder would have activated the DOCP for my system.
If I added two new sticks of ram, do I need to activate it for those two new sticks? Or do I need to disable DOCP, install the 2 additional ram, then re enable DOCP again?

hope to get some clarity on this question. Thank you!

If it's the same kit you should be able to leave it enabled and the system will simply boot with the new kit added. You can verify by using CPU-Z and seeing the memory tab (keep in mind the clock speed will show 1/2 of the effective clock speed), or within the BIOS settings.
