No. Take it out and make sure nothing is in it. It sometimes takes some pressure to push it in.

The projects never end in my line of work.

Heh, my first ever build failed to start up initially because the 24-pin connector didn't go all the way into the motherboard. I've found it always takes a surprising amount of force to get that thing in there. You might be facing a similar issue.

I took a toothpick and started pushing pins that were not completely center and it went in a little farther
