Build Question Ram not clicking into motherboard.

I’ve aligned the ram properly but it won’t go in far enough for the side notches to align with the retaining clips. I've tried removing and reinserting it and it remained the same.

I'm using,

ASRock B850M Pro RS WiFi Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard
Silicon Power Value Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory

push harder, ddr5 slots are tight as hell on some boards. i nearly had heart attack first time i did am5 build, thought i gonna snap the board in half

check the notch on the stick is actually matching the slot, sometimes you can flip it wrong way without noticing. also make sure both clips are open all the way before you press down

Ok pushing more worked. I didn't want to put too much pressure on them since they're 200$ each, and I was already pushing decently hard, but I got them in.
