can this RAM be installed (forced) backwards
No. They are made a certain way to be installed only a certain way

Please, I need to know about whether or not the RAM could be killed if I installed it backwards so as to NOT fry and kill the RAM.
If you look at the memory, you will notice that the notches are cut into the stick at certain points --- and those notches line up with the notches in the sockets. The line up for a reason ;-)

The line-up notch in the RAM is great, but it still looks like it will go the other way.
It wont. It's made to be relatively idiot-proof.
