what specific RAM do you have?

The one side clip down is normal - it is an ASUS feature. As long as the RAM stick is fully seated then its fine. Have you installed into the right slot?

Otherwise, try the ASUS MemOk! feature.

The Pcie cable will only go in one way...the pins are keyed. Does the GPU fan spin?

Did you have it in the top one before? The top one is the best one to use - only explanation is faulty then. If its still under warranty, get it replaced.
