The M.2 screw broke while you were installing your SSD. The head is fully detached and the main component is lodged in the small bracket. You're using a Gigabyte B650 X AX V2 AM4 board. Need assistance?

Take off the mounting pin and opt for another from the side of the board? Will it come undone?

With pliers, you can grip and manipulate the object effectively.

Swap the 80 and 110 standoffs with the available spare screw.

The clashes seem built right into the motherboard, which explains why you find one at each spot. I encountered this issue on a B550i Aorus Pro AX recently. I used a micro drill bit set, drilled slightly into the screw, then employed a small Torx bit from my iFixIt kit to capture the tiny hole and remove the damaged screw.

I spotted an image of the board's rear side.
