Its possible the 2nd slot in under the 1st one, as videos of it show its spring loaded so 2nd is under 1st

If your motherboard already has a RAM in the top slot, you will need to remove that first, to show the slot underneath. With the existing RAM removed, you should be able to see two sets of retainer clips - one for the top slot, and one for the lower slot.
