Does my RAM even fit?

So I bought the MSI B450M Pro VDH MAX and G.Skill RipJaws V 16GB 3400 RAM and I am really worried that it doesn't fit. I tried pushing it in harder but it started making weird noises.

Make sure it's facing the same way as the dimm

It's off-center so you can't mess it up 

If it is matching 

Open the two arms at the end and then put it in. Use equal force at the end of the stick and it should click in place and the arms will go down.

It just doesn't go down. I made sure it's facing the same way as the dimm.

I just checked the slots are not tall enough to cover the connectors can I still use it?

I really have no idea what I could have done wrong. I opened the slots the checked how to line it up and then started pushing.

Try maybe possibly with the different dimms.
