I have just upgraded the Ram in my NAS from a 4 GB 2666 non-ECC single stick, to 2x 16GB ECC sticks

OWC brand via amazon USA, as reasonably priced ECC ram is hard to come by in this part of the world.

SSH'ed in to check the ECC was working (and it is yay), but noticed that the ram is connecting at 2133 MT/s. Is this something to be concerned about? Assume there is no way to fix without changing the ram again (hard to justify that cost if this is passable).

Specs say a C3538 processor, which specifies DDR4 2133 memory, so I'd say you're good.
