I'm afraid the image you attached isn't a lot of help.

We need to see the server diagram itself.
Or, you can use the HPE online memory configuration.
I just configured a 380 Gen 7. with this..

Not sure how different it is, but it may help you.

HPE servers often change configuration... sometimes several revision in the same generation..
The chance that the G7 schematic would apply to the G8 is miniscule

Rule 1 is same amount of RAM on each CPU, adding just one DIMM will break that rule and you may get messages about performance being reduced from the OS and applications that are NUMA aware.
He could add 2 4GB DIMMs, one for each CPU - he would still add the 8 GB he wanted, without breaking the memory config
But they say "slot", not "slots" in the question.

It's already mismatched across the CPUs by the looks of it though as there's only 1 DIMM on CPU2 and there's nothing in A1 or B1 which are the first that should be populated from their screenshot. https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0109346 has the slot layout and rules.
