It should slide right in since the 960 evo is an M m.2 and the motherboard's socket is M key. Try fliping it up side down and sliding it in, just line he notches up and push (may require a bit of force).

I cant flip it since there is only 1 way in with the cut in the card. I did apply some force as well with no success...

Good, so it's the right way. Check of there's some material in the slot blocking it. Does the SSD go in a bit, or just not at all?

Haha. It can be a bit worrying for first time m.2 users, who don't want the SSD to brake on them. A bit like ram. Glad you got it in! It was my pleasure to help
