You'd think that especially with new RAM modules and a new motherboard, being a little bit stiff to start off with, installing the RAM while the mobo is sitting on it's box could be a little dangerous due to the possibility of the motherboard bending due to force. Could this cause issues later down the line? Ik that a lot of other people do it on the box but when I did work experience for school at a computer repair store they told me to install the RAM on a hard surface rather than the box.

Just wanted to double check.
 
Solution
As long as the box can handle the force you're using to press down on the RAM slot then there shouldn't be an issue. But it would be a better idea to build on a solid table.
