Hi,

The two parts you need are

Hard drive brackets        part number L19469-001 (you could use some double-sided foamy strong tape to keep in place)

Hard drive cable             part number ebayL23889-001

It can be hard to find as they are rather new.

On page 45 of the service manual, you can see the steps to install the drive

However, you could just upgrade the M2 SSD to a much higher capacity (no limit) M2 PCIe NVMe SSD

and then reinstall the OS on it.

Hope it helps,
