Can't tell from the picture, do you have the correct model of the HDD?

I see the bump, barely. Too blurry to make out. Here are some ideas if you haven't already thought of them.

Have you tried blowing out the slot with a can of compressed air? Did you look at the connector face of the original hdd and compare it to the new one? Possibly a piece of one or the other broke off inside the slot? Maybe try a magnetic wand on that bump, see if it sticks and comes out?

by

the bump is part of the metal inside
