afaik im supposed to line up the triangle with the corner piece cut away...

the gold arrow on the green pcb points at the memory in the lower left corner
 
the triangle on the mobo white socket lines up with the gold one
 
the 2 slots will align with the notches
 
hold the cpu with 2 fingers
 index on top
thumb on the bottom
slide the cpu in the left side and lay it down towards the memory
 
the gold triange will be to the right of your tumb

There are the two tabs on the sides of the socket which fit into the two cutouts on the sides of the CPU and it only fits one way.

thanks guys i got it earlier. it was my first time he he (lmao)
