Wiggle it, and push down firmly (but not hard). It worked for me.

I think the best way to install amd cpu is to install it so the ryzen logo parallel with the "forehead" of the socket

Yep, that's correct and that's how it's installed in the socket.

Never force the cpu or the socket, there may be some more freeplay that he needs to take up while inserting the cpu.  

 

Don't want to bend any pins either.
