M2 screw missing

Hi ive just brought a wd black sn750 and I cant fit it as it didnt come with the mounting screw, neither did the mb which is second hand.

Any quick way around it?

I've tried other screws but none are small enough.

You don't even need the screw. you can slot it in and leave it at an angle and it will still work perfectly fine until you can get a replacement screw.

Cheers Vince, mb is in a case so its upright,

Not flat down, will it not fall out, be sloppy?

This is my first m2 drive

Nope will just sit at a angle from the board. I also have a missing screw for one of my 3 m.2's and was running one without a screw for a good 6 months.
