The fan connector is trapped under the edge of the fan and cannot be disconnected until the fan is moved.
Do not attempt to remove the fan entirely.
Lift the fan straight up to free the captive screw from its hole in the logic board.
Pull the fan away from the SSD until you can easily access the fan connector.
