Ram Compatibility issues common?

I purchased a new ACEMAGIC F5A AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 Mini PC on sale recently for a really good price barebones. I already had a spare M.2, and had new 32 GB 5600 Kington DDR5 So-dims I purchased for another miniPC that was bought barebone refurb but ended up having Corsair ram (ram was almost worth what I paid for the PC). I wanted to try the ACEMAGIC for the better CPU/iGPU and cooling, as the Minisforum UM870 Slim tends to overheat in gaming and shuts off/reboots. Long story short- the 32 GB 5600 Corsair Ram works in both miniPCs, but the 32 GB 5600 Kingston Ram only works in the Minisforum PC.

Is this a common issue? I have never dealt with Ram that worked on one PC fine and wouldn't even post on another even though both system use the same Ram.

Should I try manually lowering the speed to 3200 with the Corsair and swap in the Kingston to see if runs when that slow? Just concerned the Kingston may be faulty but not fully faulty yet.
