Double check connectors are secure once installed, other than that, it is easy.

No worries. They won't fit where they don't go

Be warned, static energy can ruin some computer components, so avoid doing the install on carpet or a rug. A nice counter top or kitchen table or work bench area would be much better and as you work touch the metal of the case to continually ground yourself.
