Hello! I wanted to clean my PC, and as the subject says, I removed my RAM. I removed them properly, but the problem is when I try to put them back, the notches are a few millimeters off in height as if the RAM is too far in. Normally, when you insert RAM, the notches snap right into place, but unfortunately, that's not the case for me. However, before cleaning them, my PC was working fine, but now since I've tried to push the RAM all the way in without locking them with the notches, my PC has started to beep 4 times, so I was sure it was the RAM.
PLEASE HELP ME!????

If the RAM sticks were properly in the memory slots of your motherboard, there is no reason they shouldn't fit in there again. Check with the key that they are oriented correctly and push them down until you hear a click.

Yes, the RAM sticks make sense; when I push them in, they fit, but the notches don't budge an inch, and moreover, when I put it all the way in, there's a height gap to clip the stick in and the stick itself.

It's not clipping because it's not pushed in enough.

The buzzer fits perfectly in the slot, but the clip doesn't lock in place. Additionally, I tried to turn on my PC while it was lying down, leaving the RAM sticks in the slots (not clipped), but the PC won't start and the screen remains off, and then it gives me 1 long beep and 2 short beeps... I have the feeling I've broken my PC while cleaning it...

Hello, it takes some force to clip in a RAM stick, especially with low-profile sticks.

And I'm sure I made sense.

Hello.
It's worth trying with a RAM stick to start:
don't push it all the way in so that you can clip it on both sides.
See how that goes.

Yes, I already tried it with a clip, but the problem is I can't clip it anymore.

Take it out a bit and you'll probably be able to clip it.

Then, after I tried to turn on my PC, there was 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. I know that the problem could be from the graphics card, but oddly enough, after I cleaned the RAM, it made this noise and I didn't touch my graphics card.
