It's simple using the XMP profile. In the DRAM Configuration screen, find the Load XMP Setting option. It will be set to Auto by default. Click on it and you should see an entry for an XMP profile. Select that option, and then just click Save and Exit in the Exit screen.
Your Crucial Ballistics Sport memory should work fine in your board at 2400. Slots 1 and 3 are the slots you should be using.
If after selecting the XMP profile you still have a problem, go back into the UEFI/BIOS. In the Exit screen click on the Load UEFI Defaults option. That will reset every option to its default value, which will clear anything you might have set that affected your memory. If you use any non-default UEFI settings, like PCI Express for the video source, reset those options. Then select the XMP profile setting again, and Save and Exit.
Let us know what happens.
