Service Manual:

 

Manual 

 

Pages 38-47. If you look on p. 42 you see an image of the gumstick drive to the right of the battery. Ignore the part about the SSD bracket. That is only for mounting an M.2 SSD in the 2.5 inch drive bay. You do not need to do that. If you want to put anything in the 2.5 inch drive bay you would have to hunt down mounting hardware and a connector cable which might not be easy. The gumstick M.2 SSD only needs a single mounting screw and likely one is provided.
