it seems that when i go to lock it, the e8400 is sitting up and after further inspection there are pins where the e8400 is supposed to fit and there are no holes in the 8400 for the pins to go into, what shall i do?

sure it's not just turned the wrong way? It should fit fine, otherwise your motherboard is defective.
