Its' pretty hard but yes, they can be damaged.
You would not be able to get the memory module fully seated anyway if it was not the right type for the board, the keying of the slot and module would not allow it. It would be immediately obvious.
Same as if you tried to insert a correct type module in the memory slot backwards (we've all done it) and usually won't damage the slot if you don't try to force the thing with brute force into the slot.
