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

Ugh, I think I might get what you mean. Inside a relative's laptop, the screw on the secondary m.2 space couldn't be unscrewed... We gave up as we didn't have to put a disk there (yet).

Ended up ripping them out with pliers :^)
