Compatible Ram With Ryzen CPU MSI Motherboard

I'm looking to build a pc for myself, I've chosen a motherboard (MSI B350 Krait Gaming) with a Ryzen 5 1600.
For this motherboard I had to look thrue a list of available ram that is compatible with the Ryzen cpu I'm gonna use. The link below, provides a ram type (G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM Kit 32GB), but I'm prefering on using the 16gb version.
This 16gb version is not in the list available, which gets me to my question, can I use the 16gb version without problems in interference.

Compatibility List:
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B350-KRAIT-GAMING.html#support-mem-2 (Tab "Memmory Support Ryzen Series")

Serial code for 32gb version (ctrl + f to search list):
F4-3000C16Q-32GTZR and F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR (Differences in speed)
 
Solution
Since they are on the MSI list (they are not necessarily tested on all MSI Ryzen motherboards), they should work fine. Worst that could happen is they'll run at slightly lower speeds than their specifications.
Even though they are 32 GB kits (4 modules), F4-3000C16Q-32GTZR and F4-3200C16Q-32GTZR are on the list when one or two modules are used, not four; therefore buying the equivalent 16 GB kit should be fine. F4-3200C14D-16GFX (2 modules) is the best and only kit that G.Skill certifies to work at 3200 MHz; however that doesn't mean other 3200 MHz kits won't, particularly when tested by the motherboard's manufacturer.
