max seg size (kbytes) = 83886080
max total shared memory (kbytes) = 17179869184

At initial glance, I suspect adjusting these values may resolve the issue
as SHMALL should be set either total max memory size or in number of pages.
I think the value set is too large therefore recommend comment this SHMALL
parameter and set only SHMMAX value with 24GB.

Request to verify the server logs if there are any share memory errors and
assume that work_mem value is not set to extreme higher value as the max
connections has set to 500.
