I have an M.2 drive that I had in another rig that I switched out for a 950 pro from samsung. Any ideas how I can mount it without the screw? I'm trying to avoid tape right now. But if I were to use tape and it came off and the M.2 jutted put like that would it stop working or just be in danger of falling out?

As some of you may not have realized by now, I don't have the screw.
