Hello everyone, I bought a new MSI B660M-A Pro motherboard and as I was installing ram sticks, I found out that the locking mechanism on the bottom side of the ram slots do not unlock. The top side mechanisms do unlock successfully. On the top side, there is a little gap between the actual locking mechanism and the slot, whereas it's absent on the bottom side. I have attached the relevant photos. English is not my first language, therefore sorry if it seems confusing. Any help is appreciated. Top side , gap exists and unlocks successfully. Bottom side, no gap , cannot unlock.

That's typical. Many newer boards feature a single unlockable side. Just place the lower side down, then the top, and click to complete.
