I read the manual previously and the only one it shows as being removed is the "removable" m.2 qlatch that actually has a philips head on the top, no mention of the other ones with no Philips top. Guess I could dig around see if I can find the bag of motherboard things and see if it comes with shorter standoffs that go on top of the preexisting standoffs?

Move/remove M.2 standoffs (?) (sh.itjust.works)

Yo, trying to move the q latch (Asus thing apparently) (blue circle) to where the standoff is (red circle) is that possible at all?? There was a screw on the under side of the mobo for the q latch (still blue circle) but it didn't move at all... And I chipped the normalish m.2 standoff (red circle) trying to use pliers. Would like confirmation on movability before looking for a tiny socket ratchet...

Important Update #2: If you do this yourself there was a screw on the bottom of the motherboard that held in the longer post that the q latch goes on (with the glue that Asus used)

Update: tried a socket wrench/ratchet... Accidentally ripped it out so I just ripped out the other with pliers and am now super gluing it down where I want it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ hopefully it works fine
