Hey there! Let me help you with this. The advice to move the stand off from the 110 slot to the 80 slot might not be the right fix. It sounds like you're dealing with a stubborn issue—trying to unscrew it with pliers is causing metal shavings and stress. You might want to double-check the slot alignment or consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific SSD model. If it still doesn’t work, consider reaching out to customer support for tailored guidance.

The situation you're facing involves a cover that's stuck due to the standoff. According to your guide, you should use one of the provided standoffs and screws from the motherboard box. The current method isn't working, so it's important to follow the manual instructions carefully. Page 16 contains the reference image you mentioned.

Thanks for the support! I was wondering if I should have used the stand-off from the bag for the bottom SSD. That’s making me really confused. I just assembled the computer a few days ago and don’t have any other screws. I have plenty of black ones but only one small silver one! Later edit: the only screw left is the one that was originally attached to the top, but it’s too thin to fit without a stand-off.

It seems there isn't a detailed catalog of contents, but from the unboxing video, there are two baggies inside. One holds the standoff, the other contains the screw. It looks like the screw and standoff were already included on the motherboard.

I checked the entire box it came with, and the baggie ended up under the cardboard cutout. I’m glad to have it! Your help means a lot. It’s taken much longer than expected, but thank you again!

I accidentally let some things go. I believe they happen to everyone occasionally.
