Fired mine up in my B650 Tomahawk and so far so good. Those pictures really look like user errors to me.

Yeah, I've got my doubts as well.

and aside from aligning the correct notches there's also the old triangle to keep an eye for. I usually look for that first and enjoy that the notches will line up and let gravity do the rest.

I'll never understand people who spend that much money on their system just to basically destroy it because of negligence.

Yeah, as long as you are gentle with these things, carefully place them in and allow gravity to do the rest, without trying to force them and stop if you feel any resistance this seems rather unlikely to occur, even if you accidentally place them in the wrong way at first

While true, the force needed to close the bracket always makes me cringe somewhat when doing that bit, with my current built I even stopped and checked to see if it was seated correctly because all the force needed /shiver
