thats common you just put the ram in on the non opening side first .

Install the RAM like you always would, just start by inserting the end where the locks don't go down.

These are 1 sided ram slots. One side has a locking clip, the other sides does not. Unlock clip, align notch on ram slot to notch on ram stick. Insert ram into ram slot and push down on it. These 1 sides ram slots were a idea back on the 775 days when the x16 slot is sticking next to it, so when you have a long gpu, everything you need to remove a stick of ram, you will also need to remove the graphic card. New boards these days, the x16 slot is a lot further away, making this idea useless, and I personally don't like them. I fell like I'm going to break my ram slots by manually pulling the ram out, instead of using the locking level to pop it out.

Also without the 2nd clip, you can't install ram coolers on it anymore.

Calm down with the CAPS.  Use a flat piece  of metal/plastic (screwdriver maybe?) and VERY gently pry it open, applying pressure  to both clips at the same time
