Upgraded RAM to 16GB of Acer Nitro 5, questions related to it.

Hello, I upgraded my Acer Nitro 5 from 8GB to 8+8GB dual channel RAM recently, but I have some questions related to it. My laptop used to boot up a lot faster back when I had 8GB RAM and ever since I have got my RAM upgraded to 16GB, my laptop has been taking more time to load up, like 4-5 seconds more than the usual time. Why is this happening? Is the RAM faulty? Did the technician make some mistakes while installing the RAM? Let me know.
