Hi, I'm looking into the correct screw for your HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen 10 motherboard's M.2 slot. I've checked Torx T15 but it's too large, and other sizes are either too small. Could you help identify the right one?

Uncertain about how clear the shot will be

Use electrical tape or masking tape for securing connections.

I attempted to discreetly reach out to HPE, but it escalated into a loud announcement from my side. It seems HPE advises against using any generic M.2 SSDs and suggests their own branded models in oversized cases that don’t fit standard M.2 slots...

This version is a distinct dimension. I tested it and the screw slot width is smaller than the others.

Yes, that's a situation that often leads to an outcome.

The screw is secure in the stand-off, but the stand-off is pulling away from the board.

You're correct. It did come across. I managed to shift the screw using the standoff.

Sure, I'd be happy to help. Could you share more details about the server and your questions? Did you locate a screw that matches or did you need to replace the mounting hole stand?
