MacBook Pro 2012 ram upgrade will CK0 Ram work the same as YK0 Ram

Hi,

I am upgrading my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 13inch non retina with 8gb of ram. The model number is M471B1G73BH0-CK0 when I swap the ram out and power up the computer I get 3 dings for hardware incompatibly. I was checking Amazon and found the same ram with the same specs but the end of the model number is YK0 instead of CK0 the Amazon seller says this is compatible with my mac. Is there any fix that will allow my computer to work with this ram or should I just try and get the different ram from Amazon and if I do will it work.

Thanks,

John

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
