Yes, the golden arrow is positioned next to the one on the socket.
Consider adjusting the position a little further back. It should help the mechanism open completely. My options are limited, but this lever can sometimes resist.
When the CPU doesn’t fully insert into the socket, it’s likely the pins are bent. Hold the CPU up to the light and rotate it while viewing the pin rows. If a few pins are only slightly bent, you should be able to gently straighten them back. An ID card typically slides down the rows, and you can slide it along each row of pins as well. Good luck!
