make sure you got DDR3 ram and make sure the notches in the ram match up with the notches of the Slots

Sometimes the sticks are tight when pressing them far enough into the slots to cause the latches to swing up and lock. Try one end at a time and use your finger to 'help' the latch swing up into the notch. Repeat on the other end.

I once used a hammer with light tapping to get ram sticks into a slot. It was an older machine but it worked. In most cases if you need to really force things into your motherboard something is wrong with one of the two components.
