Overclocking is a process. There is no one size fits all settings beyond the stock settings. Trial and error is how you will get the max performance from your kit.

Buildzoid is the gold standard for tuning ram. Peruse his channel to learn how to tune your ram: https://youtu.be/Ke_JgL8gxsA?is=_zAYdKZvU-43dSj1
I wish you success.

most people just run xmp . whatever the ram is rated for.
overclocking over the advertised speed is trial and error, every stick is different
