I used the razor blade trick and got everything more or less aligned and upright enough that the processor is okay booting up with a second stick of ram in the machine lol

Ugh I had to do this with an internal SCSI drive many years ago, it would only reliably save if you held the back of the cable in, otherwise the pin might short just enough that the operation wouldn’t work. But I was a broke Jr High kid so there was no choice. Bent pins give me nightmares to this day.
