My brother needed more ram for a computer I gave him, so I gave him some more and told him to put it in the extra slot on the board.
He called me and told me it wasn’t working at all now, so I went over after work.
I have absolutely no clue how, to all of my knowledge it should have been impossible.
He had put the ram in backward and managed to get the clips to lock in.

I managed to plug the 4pin CPU_POWER cable into two corresponding ports. As in 2 pins from one port and two from the other, since they make up an 8pin port.
Surprisingly it was working but crashing randomly every half an hour.
These ports are shaped so that this is impossible, but I managed to do it anyway.
Those connectors are keyed, but only to prevent you from installing them backwards or rotated 90 degrees, and not from doing what you did. The "tombstone" shaped pins will fit in the square holes, but not vise versa.
Offsetting it by 1 pin side to side won't result in the loss of any smoke, because you will observe the wire colors and that all of the pins on the top edge are 12v positive and all the pins on the bottom edge are ground. You got away with what you got away with because you merely delivered insufficient current to the board, but not the wrong voltage or wrong polarity to the wrong place.
