Well my R8 came with an M2 so I didn't have to install it 

I did add another M2. If that screw on your board has a groove in it about 1mm from the top all the way round it, then it is the screw to fit the M2, that half circle on the M2 is fixed intpo the groove..

ya that Standoff was pre installed when i bought the R8 , tried taking off and that  isn't coming out without breaking the motherboard lol but do you have link where i can buy a 1mm screw for it ?

Hi @m2helpplz 

I think you have to just unscrew the one in the MB

A pic in my R8:

Possibly too much this time :)

is that what you did ? because it seems like it's in there tight

Any local computer-store will have it. Likely also HomeDepot.

It's been a while for me, but looks to be a metric-screw M2x2.5

You can get it as a kit or by itself:

would any of these work you think ?

ya that's what it looks like with the Standoff , just trying to find the screw for it now . can't find it anywhere , don't know why they would put that in there if you can't even find the screw for it.

it is dell's computer so ya i think is bolted in the back and im not removing these's lol , but i think i found it with m2-2.5mm https://www.amazon.com/Screws-Suitable-Gigabyte-Motherboards-Laptop/dp/B086WTZ5VZ/ref=sr_1_3?crid=55C8T5H7LZKW&dchild=1&keywords=m2+2280+screw&qid=1611444410&sprefix=m2+2280+scr%2Celectronics%2C173&sr=8-3 , here's a picture https://imgur.com/a/D4Rd991  , what you think ?
