A515-41G going to buy a SODIMM socket and solder it. Please Identify the existing socket

These Laptops come with an AMD A12-9720, some sources say the passives aren't installed. Some say they are, it doesn't matter,etc,etc. No real concrete information. I have the solder station, flat tips and microscope to ensure this is a solid installation if I can identify the specific type of socket to purchase. I already purchased the matched pair of ddr4-2666 2x8gb kit at crucial and kingston's websites recommendation that it had 2 slots.. I was enthusiastic and didn't open the bottom up to see a single socket/slot.

Either way, a challenge to the Electrical engineers: 260 Position SODIMM DDR4 SDRAM Socket Surface Mount, what angle? and reverse or not? So I know what to buy.

Will post a video of installation and proof of function or not for the forum, if identified.

A practical solution is to return the matched pair in exchange for either a single 16GB or 32GB DDR4 sodimm. Jack E/NJ

While that would serve the purpose of increasing the available memory. Allow me to fully disable the paging functions in windows and, at 32gb, add a decent 18-22gb ram-drive. I am looking to increase the through-put and quantity of this system's memory.

I realize the real-world SDR to DDR performance gains are not really even noticeable by most, but I already purchased this kit on the Canadian Craigslist and it's not returnable(although re-sellable).

A DDR4-SODIMM slot/socket is about $10 max depending on the specifications and manufacturer, so if the passives are installed on the board then I can fairly easily do the installation and have either DDR or 2-slots and be able to upgrade my 16gb kit to 32gb for a reasonable price.
