Having issues installing RAM

[c073186]

Okay I know this shouldn't be hard but I am having difficulty installing new RAM in a PowerBook G4. I insert the RAM at an angle then push down but it does not just "click" into place. I would have to press really firmly for that and the manual says to not press hard. I have removed and reinserted the memory about 10 times and cannot get it. What am I doing wrong? How hard are you supposed to press to get the RAM to snap into place under the clips? Am I supposed to move the clips myself or just press down?

The first time I installed new ram I actually had to push a lot harder than I thought to get it to click in. Like, I thought I was going to break it, but ram is a little sturdier than you think.

Okay I got it in there. Based on the manual it seemed like it would just nicely snap into place but it isn't quite that easy, in my opinion.
