Hi everyone, I'm assembling a PC and encountered an issue. I was adjusting the M.2 screw on the included M.2 heatsink and noticed it wasn't snug. After tightening a bit more, it popped out and fell into the standoff. I tried using a spare standoff and screw I have, but it seems MSI uses a specific type. I searched everywhere for a replacement, but couldn't find anything. My motherboard is an MSI Z690 CARBON WIFI DDR5. The images show the screws I'm looking for. If anyone knows where to get a matching set, please share a link. Thanks for your help (sorry, my English isn't great—it's my third language).

Attempted already. Instructed to reach out to MSI because they lack this particular screw. Thanks.
