Ummm, that is not something that would easily (if at all) happen when reapplying TIM. Therefore, I would suspect it was never properly/completely inserted in the first place and you moving the computer around during your re-pasting caused the stick to wiggle enough to create a disconnect.one of my ram sticks was loose

A soft brustle toothbrush can be used in lieu of an acid brush.Ummm, that is not something that would easily (if at all) happen when reapplying TIM. Therefore, I would suspect it was never properly/completely inserted in the first place and you moving the computer around during your re-pasting caused the stick to wiggle enough to create a disconnect.
My concern is "IF" the stick was never completely inserted in the first place, then over the span of time until now, dirt, dander, potato chip crumbs, cigarette and kitchen smoke, hair and other crud may have settled in the RAM slot and on the exposed RAM stick contacts. Not good.
So if me, I would unplug the computer from the wall, touch bare metal of the case interior to discharge any static in my body, then carefully remove that stick and set it aside for now. Then I would blast the RAM slot on the motherboard with some quality electrical contact cleaner. I recommend using CRC QD Electronic Cleaner or WD-40 Electrical Contact Cleaner.
Typically, the power from the spray is enough for most cleaning jobs. But if the dirt is stubborn, I spray it with the contact cleaner then give it a soft scrub with a acid brush. Then spray it again to rinse it out. Again, if me, I would probably turn the system upside down so any excess spray would drip out. Excess cleaner won't hurt the board or anything else, but if allowed to puddle, it may leave a stain once evaporated. Eye protection may be prudent here too.
Touch bare metal again and then spray the electrical contacts of the RAM stick and give them a gentle rub dry with a soft, cotton cloth. If you can see tarnish, very carefully and gently "erase" the contacts clean with a clean, soft, rubber pencil eraser. Then, before reinserting the stick, blast it with contact cleaner or compressed air or a can of dusting gas to ensure all the eraser crumbs are gone.
Reinserting the stick should then scrape clean any contaminates remaining on the slot and RAM contacts. This action ensures an optimal "mechanical contact", essential for the most efficient "electrical contact".

True. I mention acid brushes because the bristles are specifically chosen because they don't dissolve when exposed to most chemical cleaning agents. Not sure about toothbrush bristles.A soft brustle toothbrush can be used in lieu of an acid brush.

They dont rot under isopropanol, i doubt flux or cement will kill them.True. I mention acid brushes because the bristles are specifically chosen because they don't dissolve when exposed to most chemical cleaning agents. Not sure about toothbrush bristles.
Plus, I keep a stash on hand because they work great for spreading soldering flux, rubber cement, and other messy stuff.
