M.2 Standoff problem.

Hi,

I have a little Problem with the Gigabyte Aorus B560 Pro (rev1.0)

It has 2x M.2 Slots. With with a Headshield connected via PCI-E 4.0 to the CPU and one PCI-E 3.0 without Heatshield connected to the Chipset.

 

My Problem is that the One with the Heatshield has a secondary standoff between the SSD and the Shield.

In my case that second standoff sheared off when i screwed in the M.2 screw with almost no resistance.

And now the leftover of that standoff is stuck inside the first standoff...I can't remove that one, even if i wanted to, since it is riveted to the MB.

 

In the pictures you can see the "first" standoff which is riveted into the Board and the underside of the broken off secondary standoff.

 

Does anyone know way to remove the leftover of the broken part...or do i have to return it? Technically I did broke it off...and it's not coveted under the Warrenty.

Addendum:

I sent it back, If by any chance they won't RMA it...i might need some ideas XD
