Your motherboard manual says to use slots A2 and B2 for dual channel support with two sticks.
That may not be a requirement, but ASUS says that is what is recommended.

Using a1 and B1 is ok if it works, but since they are the same channel, you will operate in single channel mode.

If the motherboard is new, you could try to have it replaced under warranty even though the problem is likely of your causing.

If no replacement is possible, I would just keep using what works.
Dual channel is not significantly faster in real terms unless you are using integrated graphics.
A1 &A2 should be OK.

Before I found this problem. I used to use B1 with A1 RAM slot. It look good and work fine. RAM slot broken after I reinstall it last week. I remove RAM out form slot for clean my case and fan.
