My Nitro AN515-43 has a SK hynix HMA81GS6JJR8N-VK 2666 Hz 8 Gb, and I want to deliver another 8 Gb, but it is very important for me that the two channel mode works. The same RAM is not sold in my country. My chipset limits the RAM to 2400 Hz. The best option seems to me to be KingstonKVR26S19S6 / 8 2666 Hz 8Gb but I still don’t understand if two-channel mode will work with it ???

    Yes your AN515-43 suggested RAM is the 32GB max (2x 16Gb) of DDR4-2400Mhz into 2x DDR4 sockets at 1.2V, 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM max by Acer but its best that you use and run the "Crucial System Scanner" as that will give you all the appropriate compatible RAM specs and timings (that 2x 8Gb or 16GB will give you dual channel) that your AN515-43 can use. Best and if you cant match your default RAM is to get a matched paired kit of 2x 8GB or 2x 16GB as that will give you the best performance.

    Short answer, yes both are exact specs match, so you can go and get the Kingston one.
    The 2400 RAM speed limit is by the CPU not the chipset, as the memory controller is build in the  CPU.
