The screw and standoff might be installed to the boar already.

Otherwise you're looking for a tiny screw and standoff. I often see these in two little plastic baggies in the box.

 

If you cant find it, please make a picture of all the stuff included with the board and a picture of the board itself and I might be able to point where the screw + standoff are.

Are those the standoffs?

 

You screw another standoff into one of those and then a screw into it, which holds the M.2 there.

Doesn't seem like it is installed on the board yet, what accessories do you have with the board?

Those are accessory bags from your case, you need accessory bags from your motherboard.

I cant find the motherboard accessory bags

Then it either wasn't included with the board, or you lost it.

I don't know exactly what board you have, but it looks kind o Asus Prime-like and this is just the package contents of a random Asus Prime board:

(Not the 'M.2 screw package' point).

 

If you bought this board new and it didn't come with this, return it.

Otherwise, you may just need to 'mod'  something together.

I just figured where it might be, it's probably in a box for my cooler but i dont remember much that where that box could be

Bump

 

I just got a bag which has a whole lot of random screws and i found 6 which might be useful. Going to try and install them soon.

The bag contained screws that fit perfectly, lets get this bread gamers.
