I'd leave the old ones out because they would add so little and since memory controllers tend to be at their happiest with only half of the slots filled. If you want to give it a try anyway, consult the manual on positioning and other eventual motherboard specific advice.

Any reason you need more than 12Gb RAM? It's hardly required for most applications. You'll also add perhaps 5W to your power consumption by keeping the old sticks in there regardless of them being used or not.
