[sdiy] Amphenol edge card connector sides touch?

[Nathan Trites]

I used Amp 225-22821-401 on my clone build - I believe the main difference
is that this is a black body gold version and of the 5 connectors I got,
they ranged from definitely touching to barely touching. IIRC, I inserted a
card and adjusted the leads on the solder side so they could settle into
place safely with no card inserted. If the original doesn't connect the
slot to the PCB in the same way (connector + linking PCB + connector) I'd
be scared of them shorting if the solder leads aren't secured in place
somehow.
