RAM doesn't fit in the motherboard

[tagir.nukenov]

Recently i bought Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard and CMK16GX4M2D3200C16 RAM. Now i can't insert RAM into the motherboard. It has to go in just a little bit to fit. And i already tried to push pretty hard. Motherboard has locking clips on both sides, and i did line up the key ant the notch. Are they incompatible or i am doing something wrong ?

Well, it is DDR4 RAM so 100% compatible, and should fit. Is this board has locking clips only from one side? Inserting RAM sticks into such type of slots is little different - lower end of stick must go in first, then you can push top end (in dual clip build you usually puah both ends at same time).

RAM has a notch. You could have the memory stick rotated 180 degrees. Line up the notch and the key.

Then I have no idea what you could be doing wrong. The only possibility is that there is something in the RAM slot that should not be there, but in both slots?
