Did I make a mistake buying the wrong RAM or am I just stupid?

Building a PC for the first time and I brought a MAG B660M Mortar WIFI board and Corsair Venegance LPX 2x16 gb DDR4 RAM, but it isn't fitting in it's slot. I tried putting it in both direction but the insert gaps don't match. Am I just doing something wrong or did I buy a wrong set of RAM? I took my shirt off and everything.

Helps a lot to read the product specifications because it clearly states:

4x DDR5 memory slots, support up to 192GB

So yes you bought the wrong type of memory. Return the DDR4 sticks and buy DDR5 sticks.

Mate you aren't stupid at all; building PC's is complicated. There are good reasons the overwhelming majority of people don't. It's hard and requires a lot of knowledge to do it, even if the actual doing is simple. The tech community is full of arseholes, stupid people aren't the problem. Insecurity is
