Hi, welcome to your PC build! You're facing a common issue when connecting a heatsink to an M.2 SSD. Since your 970 EVO M2 is 80mm long and the heatsink is 110mm, it seems the heatsink will sit on the 80mm edge of your SSD. You have two options: either skip the heatsink or leave a gap between the SSD and the heatsink. It’s better to install the heatsink properly to ensure good thermal contact and prevent overheating.

The issue arose from the incorrect installation order. Follow these steps carefully: remove the screw, then the standoff, after that the SSD, and finally secure it with the screw. The correct sequence is board > standoff > SSD > screw.

It doesn’t seem right. The 970 needs to sit on the standoff, and then attach the screw to secure it. It should be even.

p.s. It's not perfect, but you could skip the screw on the standoff and secure it between the heatsink. The thermal pad should handle keeping the M.2 drive stable. Remember to take out the blue plastic. If possible, try to avoid that step.

Yes, you're able to adjust posts. You don't need to create three versions.

I understand your point. When replies come fast, people often overlook the changes and it can seem like they’re not paying attention.

Hey there, minibois and Ceannanu, your assistance made a big difference—it was just an installation mix-up. Glad I could get the heatsink set up correctly! Thanks for your quick response. Appreciate it! Did anything get damaged during the process?
