Thermal pads or thermal putty
Between the nvme and motherboard tray?
Assuming there's not a cut out in the motherboard tray

thats not a bad idea, ill mount it and see how much space there is

It’s an itx board. Tbf I’m happy it’s there but your it’s not the best design.

The drive is an older gen 4

Another possible option?
Use a nvme riser/extender cable
To position the drive somewhere better
Though not sure how long a riser cable you
Can get

this is not really an option for me, im going to test fit and see how much room there is for a pad i think thats the way to go really
