I'm building my pc with ddr3 ram, and 1 side of the ram slot is a latch, and the other side is a weird plastic peice. I can get the ram to go in, its lined up correctly, but it just stopshalf way down. i dont know what I'm doing, help!

Have the latch open and put the ram in straight. Then push it down evenly until it goes all the way in and the latch clicks in to place. You do need to apply some decent pressure when installing ram but if it does feel like you're using too much force then stop and make sure you're doing it right.
Some boards have dual latches others dont, just make sure the dimm is securely in place and the latch goes in as far as it can.
