msi x470 gaming plus awkward m.2 screws

[ThatSpecialGuy]

Oddly enough this mobo came with some odd m.2 screws. Like it puts the ssd into a slope position. I'm assuming this doesn't hurt it in any way, but it's kinda awkward to have 2 of these and not something else that would put it in a straight position.

Got a photo? Should only be 1 tiny tiny screw.

It's basicly a tiny thumb screw. So it's made of entirely one part. not the usual "rest" platform and a tiny screw to tighten the m.2 ssd.

This and no hole on top to put a tiny screw in or whatever. Got 2 of these, one for each m.2 slot.

That's weird, not seen that before. Looks like it might be a compression screw even with that wonky edge, seems like it might pair with another part.

Ended up drilling a small hole in one of them with the size of a m2  and gave it a screw thread within. Ordered a set laptop screws and will just wait a few days before I actually mount it in my system, cause I'm just not comfortable with it having a downward seating position, instead of a straight one.
