Hi,
I wanted to insert a new SSD into M.2 slot of my HP ProBook 440 G4 and didn't manage to do it.
Currently, I use SATA SSD and I've never used M.2 before on this notebook and generally.
Here are the specifications for my model.

I bought Samsung - PM981a 256GB SSD bulk (MZVLB256HBHQ-00000)
This is how this SSD and M.2 slot on my notebook look like:

The issues.
1. According to the HP-maintenance guide and to the official video there should be a PM2.0×4.0 screw on this place (red circle on the photo). Do you see any?

2. In the video, the white sticker with the Samsung label is up. But if you want to fit the smaller and the larger contacts (I'm not sure how to describe them properly), the sticker should be set to the bottom.

2. The bigger part with contacts seems to be too large (I didn't try to force it )

Questions:
 - do I do something wrong
 - did I buy a wrong SSD
 - is there a problem with my notebook?


Thank you.
