well i have found the fix to my problem so the top slot requires you to push the sodimm at a drastically higher angle than the lower slot

Unlike desktops, memory slots in laptops have small metal pins on the side that squeeze together to hold the RAM stick in place.  If the pin is not closing, the RAM stick is not pushed in all the way.
