It seems unusual right after unpacking. This could indicate an issue with the RAM or a problem with the installation process. The pins not being at the same level suggests a potential mismatch, and difficulty fitting it under pressure points to possible damage.

Most of the DDR4 DIMMs I've seen online look similar. This style seems odd to me. I've double-checked the orientation several times. What's even more strange is that my motherboard doesn't appear to have latches on either side (ASRock AB350M).

This behavior is consistent across all the motherboards I've used over the past five years. You should place it on the side without the latch first, then push the RAM stick fully in to secure it.

They built it this way intentionally to lower stress on the PCB during installation.

This is an important detail.Applying the pressure evenly like on motherboards with 2 latches doesn't work here.I have managed to install it, thank you for mentioning this.
