I have a weird issue where I need to keep reseating the DIMMs every few months due to stability issues.

Has anyone else encountered this?
 
32GB G.SKILL Z5 Royal - F5-6000J2836G16GX2-TR5NS.

Yesterday, I did notice one of the lower clips for the slot had become unclipped from the DIMM slightly.

To remove doubt around my technique: I have installed terabytes memory in desktop and enterprise machines. I absolutely know how to install a DIMM. This keeps baffling me though. I'm beginning to think the memory slots are slightly defective.
 
Yes, but even professionals with mega YouTube channels and many petabytes of installations can still make mistakes.

My first thought was cheap, badly made RAM that was a loose fit.
The second was duff slots, or a manufacturing defect.

Agreed, but I have reseated this RAM four times at this point. I would be surprised if I've cocked it up every time.

After seeing the loose clip, I'm leaning towards defective slots.
