Installing SSD and RAM on MSI Tomahawk Z790 WIFI

[vdenotari12b402a7]

I am installing an NVMe SSD and DDR5 RAM on my MSI Tomahawk Z790 WIFI.
That's my very first time working with an MSI mobo and I got two questions:

SSD Installation on M2 slot:
The MSI Tomahawk Z790 WIFI manual indicates to close a clip just like shown in the figure below (see point 5):

However, I cannot actually reach out the closing position with that clip. My SSD looks inserted but the angle of the clip is just different than the one in the manual.
If I try to push it, it just does not move.

See the pic below:

I closed the M2 shield heatsink and everything looks stable, but I would like to ask for you guidance on this setup.

RAM installation
I also installed two vengeance DDR5 RAM banks:

Are the banks correctly in? I tried to push more but they just don't move more than this.

Yeah, the clip doesn't really properly secure the M.2 SSD.

Try rotate the clip clockwise first to the end, push the M.2 all to the end.

Rotate clip ccw again and see if it can secure the M.2.

Memory looks nothing wrong, all good in DIMM 2 and 4

Fixed it, but I actually had to loosen the screw, even if not indicated in the manual.

Now the SSD is secured and the shield closed.

Thanks a lot for your support!
