Hi,
This is normal in AMD systems, the system allocates 2.1GB for hardware, so you can overcome this by increasing the memory, buy another 8GB of DDR4 2400MHz module and install.

Aren't there only 2 RAM spots on Acer AN515-43?

Yes, you have only 2 slots, if you have 2x4GB, either replace one module with same specs as the other 4GB or replace both with 2x8GB modules.
