Greetings @Gujupo
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Do you need: a MB M.2 standoff and M.2 screw?
It's anybody's guess if a fine thread or coarse thread standoff and/or screw is required.
I'm guessing HP did not provide the parts??
Try Amazon. This specific Amazon purchase Option might have what you need.

As seen in the photo, screw is not included in the spare M2 slot. I am trying to find the size of the screw as it is specific to motherboard brand. HP has been 'investigating' the issue for almost a month with no answer.

Thanks for the image.
I can't give you the specific screw size if HP Support can't help.
I can only suggest buying an assorted M.2 screw kit at Amazon.
Or remove the existing M.2 screw. Take the screw to a local hardware store.
M.2 screws are very tiny. Don't misplace this screw.
Maybe you can find a matching screw (same: thread and length) at the hardware store.
