Upgrading from HDD. What thermal pad for m2 SSD?

I have an XPS 15 9570 (base model with the 2.5” hard drive and no m2 SSD).

Now I want to upgrade it with an nvme SSD (970 Evo). I know that the systems that shipped with nvme's have a cooling pad between the SSD and the bottom case.

What thickness is this pad, and where can I get something like it? Any clues and or leads greatly appreciated!

On eBay they sell the m.2 heatsink and cooling pad combo with the silicone rings to hold it together.

Alternatively you can use the green / white thermal pads that are mushy which is compatible with a variety of laptops.

I don't think the heatsink cooling pad would work because of size. The pad needs to fit between the SSD and the case of the laptop.

It's the mushy pads that I think I need, but I don't know the thickness or even what material they are (or where to get one)
