Gigabyte GA-B450 AORUS ELITE V2 second SSD slot does the stand-off unscrew??? Can’t get it.

[imKaia]

Hey all! Need assistance. 
 

 

I just bought another SSD and I’m now trying to use the top slot… but the SSD doesn’t reach, so someone said to remove the stand off from the 110 location and put it in the 80 slot. 
 

does this actually work?

Ive been stuck for the past 20 mins trying to unscrew the stand off but it not coming off.. I’m using pliers and it’s starting to peel metal shavings off! 
 

so stressed and it’s not working!

That standoff you're trying to remove holds the cover over that M.2.

As your manual says, you need to use one of the standoffs and screws that came in a little bag in your motherboard box.

They're wrong. They need to learn to look at manuals. Page 16 of yours is where I got the picture above.

Absolute legend thank you SO much for the help, although.. I used the stand off from the bag for the bottom SSD? that’s why I’m super confused. 
 

I just put together this computer a couple of days ago and don’t have any other screws? 
 

I have a ton of the black screws but only had one of those little silver ones!

 

EDIT: the only screw I have is the one that was attached to the original top one, but it’s to thin to fit without a stand off.

So, there is no list of what comes in the box, but going off this unboxing video, 

There's 2 baggies in the box, like this.

One is the standoff, one is the screw.

The other screw and standoff, for him at least, came preinstalled in the motherboard.

OH MY GOD YES. 

 

I opened the whole box it came with and the baggie just fell under the cardboard cutout. I’ve got it!

 

 

thank you so so so much for your help! This has taken WAY longer then it should have. 
 

thanks so much again!

I've thrown a few out on accident. I think they get us all once or twice.
