Checked all the memory sticks in the 4 memory slots that the mobo manual assigns: A1 B1 C1 D1. (A2B2C2D2 do not work for some reason)
2 memory sticks work in all of those except for the B1.
The other 2 sticks don't work in any of those slots.

As for the fact of the assembly...
Ehhh... Hard to describe what I am seeing, and taking a picture will not be descriptive enough since this scale is too small to capture properly.
The structure of the socket is made of 2 areas where one encapsulates left and top, and the other area encapsulates right and bottom portions of the square socket.
ALL of them are seemingly bent. All of them are leaning down at around 45 degree angle.
Aren't they supposed to be that way? Tbh I don't remember whether they were like that when i was installing this the first time. The mechanism that locks the cpu into the socket also requires quite a bit of force to begin with.
Also, some caveats I want to add on what I discovered after i disassembled the system:
Issue 1: I've put WAY too much thermal paste on the chip. So what happen due to that was the thermal paste bleeding all around the edges when I compressed the water monoblock on top of the chip and the socket.
I also got some thermal paste leaking into that hole on top of the CPU:
-what i did right now is, I used the 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol solution to clean all of it. I got some on the socket and what is worse, i got some on the connecting pad side of the CPU. I cleaned all of that with the 99.9 alcohol and a q-tip, and the compressed air.
Issue 2: the first time I was tightening the screws for the water monoblock on the back of the mobo, I scratched the surface, and seemingly a circuit. I do not know how severe it is, it looks pretty small, but I see the reddish color of the copper wiring that was previously hidden by the mobo material. I am not sure what that thing is responsible for, but I don't think I cut something off. No idea how much of a problem that could be.
(EDIT: God damn... On the 2nd picture here, I think I can trace the damaged section leading right to the B1 slot PCB. Could anyone confirm it? I labelled everything in red.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So to sum it all up, does any of that could affect the the B1 slot for the memory sticks? I have a ton of things I did very wrong, but the additional assembly mistakes i discovered, did not really inhibit the functioning of the system aside the damn memory slot ...
