It seems these clips are extremely difficult to remove. The NVME heatsink above them limits access, and even with a tool, they tend to bend. I had to forcefully pull out my brother's Asus ROG B550, and the clip didn’t move despite significant effort. I ended up yanking it out completely. Once removed, it came back securely in place. This isn’t a typical issue for other builds I’ve worked on before. Could there be something missing? Usually, applying moderate pressure works, but here it felt different.
