Having issues with the small screw that holds the M.2 SSD at the 80mm position, the screw is not long enough.
The 80mm position has an adapter that screws into the motherboard and the screw that holds the SSD screws into that adapter at the 80mm position, the screw is too short not long enough to even get the treads started, also the screw head is too small barley covers the notch in the M.2 SSD.
My M.2 SSD is a 1TB GAMMIX S11 PRO P/N: AGAMMIXS11P-1TT-C
Please advise?

Hello,
Sorry to hear about the issue with the M.2 screw. Unfortunately, we only have one size of M.2 screw available and it is the same screw which comes with the motherboard. The screws that comes with the motherboard is a M2 x 2.5mm size screw, so if you are looking for a longer screw I would suggest a M2 x 3.5mm or 4mm length screw to be able to tighten down your M.2 drive. M2 threaded screws are fairly common and can be found at various online retailers and sometimes even general hardware stores such as Home Depot.
