Can you post some pics so we can see things. Show us the screw location with the drive in place. A second looking down into the socket.

@lumivuohi - I can’t tell for sure as I can’t see deeply enough T into the slot to see if you have a bent pin blocking things.

Assuming it’s not then you need to apply a tad more pressure sliding the SSD into the slot. Make sure you don’t lift it up as that could damage things.

Hint! There is a key way in the connector the gap you see now needs to almost be gone when fully inserted.
