Take a closer look at the image—I can't insert that screw because the M.2 slot is obstructed? What should I do? I attempted to remove the M.2 screw and then install the heatsink screw, but it causes minor bending of the SSD, so I’m not sure that’s the right approach.

It's designed to slightly bend, allowing it to align horizontally with the board.

Examine the left side of the SSD and notice its slight bend.

This must be included because you possess a substantial heat sink; neither of the standoffs is necessary

Yes, it's removable. I wasn't aware of that. It should definitely help with the issue. Appreciate the help!
