Hi,
Install CPU-z and find out the make and model of your current 8GB module, get a module to match the specs of the RAM and install, you have two slots (one occupied by current 8GB RAM), you need DDR4, 2133/2400MHz memory module.
Open the memory hatch at the back, insert the module at an angle and gently push down until the retainer clips click.

Yes, both should work, but I would prefer Adamanta module, Amazon has a good return policy, so if it doesn't work you can always return it and get a replacement.
It can only support up to 2400MHz.
DIMM Type:- DDR4 2133/2400 SODIMM
Memory interface design: • DDR4 SODIMM slot x 2 •
Maximum memory is up to 32GB
It has 2 slots for RAM and the maximum it can handle is 32GB

Your model could be different from AN515-51, please provide the full name, like ANxxx-xxG. Yes, you could be right, if the total memory is 8GB and if you find only a single removable module, the other one might be an on-board memory, it means soldered.
According to service manual the motherboard has the capacity to run up to 2400MHz but this 2666MHz module may have been available at the time of assembly.

i can upgrade the ram with :
Is it AN515-51? If so, yes you can but wait until you receive the laptop to find out whether it comes with 2133MHz or 2400MHz module.
You don't have to worry about single rank or dual rank anymore, you can even mix them, get a module that says DDR4 PC4-19200, both modules in your links are compatible.
