It's a small screw used to secure components on your motherboard.
Previously, it was noted that just one screw is needed for installing an M.2 drive.
It seems there was a mix-up in the instructions. They provided two screws and three separate screws for the M.2 slots, but you expected more.
It seems confusing, but from the photos you provided, the top SSD already has a screw while the other two slots are still empty.
They all really have positions to take, I wasn’t aware I needed to insert something into an already fastened part. I assumed the standoff was the thing being screwed in.
It's actually quite the situation. The standoff fits into the motherboard, and the screw goes into the standoff. Essentially, the standoff acts like a double screw.
