depends what your configuration is. If you have a four slot board and one module, then to get dual channel to have to run it in the slot's 'pair' which would be shown in the motherboard manual or colour coded on the board, indicated etc * +

So then its up to you. The modules should always work in any slot but ideally you run them in pairs. If you already have two modules for example and add another then you can't have dual channel anyway so you can just put it where it fits. * +

Take all the components you played around with apart again and inspect them for any damage. Then carefully put everything back together and check if it works. * +
