Solved

Hello, I decided to buy myself a PC, but I don't know how to install the NVMe M.2 2280 SSD on my motherboard (ASUS TUF B550 Plus WiFi II) because the NVMe is tilted (photo 2). I was told that I need to remove the standoff (photo 1), but I don't know how to do that. Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    The spacer is used to secure the SSD via the semi-round notch at the back, it must be flat, the spacer serves as a support for a screw.

      Thank you for your response. I suppose we need to change the location of the spacer to place it in the notch, but what tool do we use to unscrew it? And should I also unscrew the bolt on which I will place the spacer?

        Look at pages 1.11 and 1.12 of the motherboard manual, it's explained:

        E18578_TUF_GAMING_B550-PLUS_WI-FI_II_UM_WEB.pdf (asus.com)

        For the tool, a precision cross screwdriver, so a small head, generally.

        In the end, I had lost the pack of screws and I was trying to remove the pad holder. I took it off and realized that I had a pack of screws. Finally, I put everything back and it works well. Thank you very much for your response, it helped me.
