I had the same problem with the So-DIMM becoming stuck during installation. I couldn't get the darn SO-DIMM's to sit correctly. I used the soft pointed end of a standard Bic ballpoint pen cap to gently (very gently) fish out by the half-cresent cuts along the sides of the SO-DIMM.
Be careful of the ram clips on each side! If the SO-DIMM is stuck, do not force the ram clip(s) apart more than they are willing to give or they might snap off.
You will need to apply greater force than you anticipate for the SO-DIMM's to sit/pop in correctly. The top/outermost SO-DIMM was the most difficult to set in my personal experience.
