First-timer with no knowledge whatsoever: How do I know what RAM to get for my computer? (sh.itjust.works)

I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I'm lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where's the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.

This is so helpful, thanks a ton! Without knowing the "how," I would have been right back here the next time I needed to make an upgrade, so thank you for "teaching me to fish" for RAM so to say.
