I answered your post yesterday and gave you the links to the service manual and service video.

 

I don't know what else you should need.

 

If your PC already has a NVMe SSD installed, you can see where the second one goes in minute 15:07 for the motherboard removal procedure.

 

The M.2 slot is located just to the lower right of that white speaker connector with the black and white wires leading from the black speaker box on the chassis.

 

The hold down screw for the SSD is that black post on the chassis on that round silver 'hill.'

Fault with motherboard!  It's  not possible to install a M.2 NVME on my motherboard , the SSs 2 slot is wrongly positioned because,  the Slot3 position is fine but there is nothing there.    I think I will have to ask for a new motherboard under warranty.  I have wasted a considerable amount of time looking for the correct slot and it's not there!
