Alienware m17x r4 second HDD bay interposer

Hi!

I just bought a new SSD for my Alienware m17x r4 (finally!!), but it turns out the second HDD bay doesn't have the necessary connector! I need an interposer that sits between the SSD and the connector in order for it to work.

Looking at other threads, the laptop is supposed to come with this, no? Well mine didn't... Can anyone point me in the direction of finding one?

I actually tried to resolve this myself and bought one off amazon. The image looked like the right one, but when I actually received it, it was a different one entirely! Anyway, I've returned that one and got a refund.

Any help you guys can give would be HUGELY appreciated! :)

84  dollars?! That's insane!!! I only needed the little bit that converts the connector to a 90 degree angle. Anyway, I found a cheaper solution myself for anyone finding this in reference (and if you live in the UK like I do)

Thanks for your help anyway, Eimy.
