I am trying to replace my original chain that came with the bike (Canyon Endurance CF SLX Di2 Areo) with a waxed chain. The waxed chain I ordered has two more links than the chain that came with the bike. I have a Shimano Ultegra 12S cassette (Shimano Ultegra Di2 RD-R8150 12s). I ordered the correct chain by their part number and description. I have counted the 12 gears. The box the chain came in is labeled Shimano Ultegra 12S. My question is, what would be the best way forward: remove two links from waxed chain, use the waxed chain as is or return the waxed chain and go to a bike shop where they know a heck of a lot more than me. Thank you.

I can also add that by the Javascript Bicycle Chain Length Calculator my chain should be 56 inches and the new chain is 58.
