Yes, it's common for RAM to feel stiff during installation and sometimes produce a scraping or grinding noise. This usually indicates proper seating but may require more force or time.

It seems you might be placing it incorrectly—it’s not aligned properly and can only fit in one direction. Double-check the installation to ensure it’s correct.

Only a faint sound is noticeable. It could mean debris is lodged in your RAM ports or you're using the incorrect slot configuration.

I have a few really narrow gaps that need a bit of effort to fit my sticks, plus some that are too loose. If it fits snugly and functions well, everything looks fine.
