I can only suggest to get another 8 gig instead of the 4. It should resolve the issue. Get the same type of RAM if you can. It will also help with dual channel, if You have 12 gigs it wont run dual channel so you will run at half speed.
 
Ryzen chipsets are very intolerant when it comes to mixing up memory modules. Here is the memory your motherboard supports. Note there are both single and dual (kit). Not sure what they mean by the different memory selection columns like A-Series or RX-1x100:

Like others said, odds are your motherboard does not support switching up different memory.
