Sure, let me clarify your setup. You have an Asus TUF Gaming Plus Wi-Fi II with a Kingston Renegade 2TB M2 drive. Since the drive is dual-sided, you should check the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper installation. Generally, you’ll want to keep the existing rubber on the motherboard in place and avoid adding extra padding unless specified. When mounting the M2, secure it firmly but don’t over-tighten. After installing the standoff screw, tighten the M2 securely and then reattach the heatsink. If the rubber isn’t perfectly aligned, you can gently adjust it to fit without forcing it. Always refer to the specific instructions for your motherboard model for best results.

Yes, leave the pad that's already there on but don't install anything else. The Kingston drive you mentioned is double sided by the way. Everything else you said is correct and no it doesn't matter about the existing pad not being fully aligned, it's fine
