It's impossible to put the memory module in backwards thanks to the notches which "key" it with the slot. Slide the memory module in between the grooves in the locking clips and rest the memory module in the slot. In this shot, the memory module is not yet installed. At this point, each end of the memory module has been slid through the grooves in the locking clips at each end. Notice that the locking clips are still in the open - unlocked position. The memory module is at the entrance of the memory slot, ready for pressure to be applied to complete the insertion.
