It is always advisable when using two memory modules that they are matched as closely as possible i.e. same frequency and latency timing.
Since the laptop works OK when only the 2666MHZ module is inserted, but not when the 3200MHz module only is inserted, this corroborates what the laptop [link|https://www.msi.com/Laptop/GF63-8RD/Specification|specifications] show for the supported maximum memory frequency, i.e. 2666MHz due to this being the maximum frequency supported by an [link|https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/000007393/processors.html|Intel 8th Gen laptop CPU] which I presume is installed in the laptop.
To get the laptop to start with 32GB you will have to get another 16GB DDR4 2666Mhz module.

Even if it did start with a 3200MHz and a 2666Mhz module inserted, the 3200MHz module would only work at 2666Mhz as the system will limit to the slowest speed
