[Help] Terramaster F6-424 RAM Upgrade (self.selfhost)

I have a Terramaster F6-424 and the vendor site says that the machine can support up to 32gb of RAM. I am running TrueNAS on it.

I have tried 4 different 32gb DDR5 sticks and the machine refuses to POST (or whatever the beep is when it turns on). The latest one I tried I chose specifically because it said it supported my exact machine, despite the price. I don't know if I'm just missing some specific spec on the memory that makes all 4 of the sticks I've tried incompatible with the F6-424, but at this point I'm doubting Terramaster's claim of supporting up to 32gb.

I wanted to post here and ask if anyone has succeeded in upgrading/replacing the RAM in a Terramaster NAS before I return this last one and try a 16gb stick.

Is there something I'm missing here? Does running TrueNAS instead of TOS matter? Has anyone had success with any specific RAM model with this setup?

The processor they advertise only supports up to 16GB

I'm guessing that the Terramaster documentation is wrong

I did notice that in my research while I was troubleshooting this, but I was hopeful that maybe Terramaster had some sort of configuration to allow 32gb support since they claimed it. 16gb should be enough for my current purposes, but I am a little bummed about not being able to do 32.
