M.2 Screw Missing

I just purchased this MSI barebone (MSI Pro DP20Z) which has two M.2 NVME slots but the package only included one screw. In the manual, it states only one screw is included. Isn't it the responsibility of the motherboard manufacturer to provide both screws?

My MSI board didn't come with any at all!

Does seem a bit odd, are you sure it's to be used with the NVME slot?

Not sure what you mean?

The worst thing is that it's not even a standard part. All manufacturers do different sizes so it can be a pain to source the right screw.

It was in a seperate little plastic bag with last 3 boards i've installed, easy to lump in with the other opened packs for the bin..

I have the bag but it only has one screw. I asked a youtuber who reviewed the product and he said it only comes with one screw. I don't mind buying an M.2 screw but they come in different sizes and it turns out to be a trial and error ordering process so a simple screw can end up costing £10 with postage. Whenever I buy Asrock, Gigabyte or Asus, both screws are provided.
