3. Insert the M.2 device at a slight angle of approximately 45 degrees to the board. This
will allow the contacts (colloquially called "Gold Fingers") to seat completely into the
slot. If the device is fully seated, you should be able to release it and the device will rest
at an angle of about 30 degrees on its own, as shown in the picture below.
4. Gently push the M.2 device down on the raised end. There will be some tension -
this is normal - then use the screw you removed in Step 1 to secure the device.
Below, you can see that the contacts will be nearly invisible when the device is properly
seated and the copper mounting semi-circle is partially visible around the screw.
