RAM-slot does not work

one day my laptop froze and didn’t turn back on, I took it to a repair shop and he had told me that the ram stick had gotten fried so I bought the new ram for it. When I tried it gave me a blue screen. long story short I looked it up and I found out that it was the ram slot. But I did see some DIY solutions to it when adding something to wedge in the ram slot putting pressure on it works, and it did until it moved out of place. I don’t want to pay for it to get repaired or buy a new motherboard. What can I add to either hold it down (tape) or put pressure on the ram stick (gasket)

Are the clips not catching the edge of the RAM on both sides, as shown in photo?

Motherboards are very delicate, so it may not be a good idea to use tape/gaskets on one. The Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop has two RAM slots and each can support 16GB RAM sticks. Have you tried putting a 16GB RAM stick in the one working memory slot? That would satisfy the RAM requirements without risking further damage to the motherboard.
