Dell laptop m.2 clip and bracket

[lindseyboi]

I have the G15 5521 as shown in the below video

How to replace the M.2 2230 solid-state drive on the Dell G15 5510/5511/5515/5520/5521/5525 | Dell South Africa

Now if you look at 2:39, you can clearly see there is the grey plastic clip over the area of the 2nd m.2 slot, but theres no supporting bracket for it.

In my model, theres no grey clip at all, apparently this model doesnt come with a 2nd m.2 slot due to reasons.

Now I wanted to know if its possible to 3d print that clip and bracket because clearly the mobo does support it. Or alternatively where can I purchase it, becuase dell didnt' get back to me at all.

Anyone have or resolved this issue?

there's 2 screws.

just using the second screw should suffice, as it appears to be where the nvme screw would normally fit in...

otherwise some good quality double sided tape at the bottom of the nvme should hold it. haha

It likely that second M.2. slot will be redundant i.e. unless your model supports the use of both M.2. with SSDs, the slot will probably be disabled.

Thanks for the replies. I hadn't thought about it being disabled from the get go, that would suck. The problem isnt holding it in place, its that plastic clip that the nvme slides into thats missing. Dell hasnt gotten back to me yet
