m15 R3, problem with installation m.2 2230
Alienware M15 R3
I have a very simple question but I want to be sure not to buy the wrong part. I wanted to install an additional disk but I noticed that the screw is in the wrong place. My question is what type of frame am I missing? the installation location is ssd3 2230 and nvme is wd sn770m. I added photos

@ejn63 thanks for your help. I bought what you advised, everything fits perfectly. 1tb is also not a problem in the 2230 socket.thx
