From the standard thickness of the M.2 connector or the height of the standoff, I would say around 5 mm of pad you will need.
Have some good results with Arctic TP-3 product. You can triple up their 1.5 mm pad for thickness and cut it to the length of the marking on motherboard.
I have exactly the same question. What should the thickness and conductivity (W/mK) be for the pad? Also, would you recommend installing heat sinks on the top side of the Nvme drives or is the foam heat sink enough?

If you buy and use an upper radiator, you don't need to install the dell original bottom thermal pad.

Running 5mm micro connector heat sinks on all three M2 drives. Plenty of space and they drop temp 10 degrees centigrade,
