Looks like the screw to mount an M.2 SSD.

No one does that anymore.  Reading manuals, that is.

 

M.2 screw as said above.


Are you sure the 3 screws you're seeing aren't the standoffs for the M.2 drives?

Not to mention the manual that came with this motherboard is thick!

If you're unwilling to help, don't reply.

Thanks mate!

 

I actually got the information I asked for and the problem is solved so if you’d like to lock the thread it’s totally cool. :)
