I just got my Framework 16 DIY version and I can’t install the primary SSD because there is a captive screw in the place that holds the SSD down and I can’t remove it so the SSD doesn’t stay held down. There is a screw for the secondary SSD and it comes out. Any ideas?

Update: I got it out, anyone else with this issue, try and pull the screw out it’s very small on the threads so it just pulls out and pushes back in when the drive is seated.

Hey I got it out. I had to use some pliers and pull it out, which is weird since it wasn’t really screwed in and it did t seem stripped. When putting the SSD back in it didn’t screw in, it just sort of snaps back into the hole. It holds the drive in so that works. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.
