The notch in the DIMM should line up with the bump in the slot if you face it the other way.

 

This is why I miss the second notch in PC133 and FPM DIMMs. DDR4's notch is almost centered.

Can you take a picture the other way because you must just not be doing something right?

You're certain they didn't send you the DDR5 version of your board by mistake?
