There seems to be an issue with the M.2 drive not fitting fully. It might be due to a short screw or insufficient thread length. Is this acceptable? 20231208_185158_compressed.mp4

It's not what you think; the screw needs to pass through the heatsink, so it's designed for that purpose. There might be a shorter version available for direct use in a bag.

The standard screw is included on the motherboard, and there are no additional screws for the M.2 or the board itself.

That seems to refer to a specific EZ clip motherboard, likely designed for compatibility with certain systems or components.

And i don't think that's the case because there isn't something you can clip down on the ruber thing around the spacer, its just the long m.2 screw that was holding the original shield in place that I removed in order to install the m.2

M.2_2 offers complete Q-Latch functionality; the slot includes a heatsink, explaining the length of that screw. This isn't the original intended use. You can find more details here: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/Socket AM5/ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI/E20268_ROG_STRIX_B650-A_GAMING_WIFI_UM_WEB.pdf?model=ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI

Hold on a second, let me clarify. Are you asking if you should take off your heatsink from the M.2 slot because you think it’s not needed anymore? Since you bought it extra, you might want to check compatibility before removing it.

Turn the latch on the screw hole as illustrated. Align it away from the drive, then once you lower the drive, rotate it back. This secures the drive in position.

Likely not, the Q-Late should still function, but you won’t be able to lower the motherboard heatsink properly. It looks like your setup isn’t quite correct—we can’t clearly see the Q-Latch in the video. Why would you want extra cost for a feature already built-in? You can observe it working with another drive that has its own heatsink. It’s possible the specific slot isn’t suited for drives with separate heatsinks, but I’d need to examine it directly to confirm.
