DDR5 4x16GB or 2x32GB

Dear all, Good day!

I’d like your opinion/answer on how I messed up/went from 10/10 to 1/10. The situation is as follows:

I recently built a new PC with these main parts: CPU - AMD 9800X3D; Motherboard - MSI MAG B850; RAM - DDR5 2x16 GB, 6000 MHz, CL30.

After a few weeks, I decided to add another 32 GB of RAM (the same as my existing kit). When the extra RAM arrived, I realized that 4x16 GB would work worse/slower than 2x32 GB. So now I have an unopened 2x16 GB RAM kit, and I’m wondering how much I messed up.

Should I return/sell the existing RAM and buy a new 2x32 GB kit, or just give up and install the delivered RAM to finish the build as 4x16 GB?
