Verify that the openings on the card ejector cams pass over the tabs; otherwise, one or both
ejector levers might bind when you attempt to close the ejector levers, thereby damaging or
breaking one or both ejector levers.

the card ejector levers begin pivoting forward toward the handle in the card carrier.
