Card size doesn't fit the M.2 slot screws.

I purchased an M.2 expansion card for a compact home server without verifying the screw mount compatibility. Anyone know of a method or product that could secure an M.2 card using other screws?

Didn't your motherboard have multiple openings in its M2 slots for various card sizes?

It includes 60mm and 80mm sizes, but the IO card is only 50mm, which feels a bit odd. My main PC motherboard handles a wider range, so I’m frustrated about this choice.

Ensure you review the manual prior to buying next time.

you’ll want a m2 2242 to 2260 or 2280 extension. Here is one: https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/2280...vQQAvD_BwE

I thought a solution like this should be available, but I struggled to find the right way to look for it. Thanks a lot for the help on this one!
