Yeah looking at it the orientation of the banks of ram is wrong. You dont need to fit sockets to use those ram replacement modules though - I dont. I just solder them straight to the PCB

Their download link is a little jank - will fail by default on Chrome because it's from HTTP. TBH, i think that's stupid that Chrome enforces that!!

Could some ZX Spectrum "lower RAM replacement" modules work here?

Same as many companies do with fines.. they weigh up the cost of the fine vs the savings they make, and the fine becomes a "fee".
Such fines need to be expressed in percentage of gross profit.
