   Hi, i was trying to change out a end of life m2. ssd and suddenly it seems the standoff fell off. and it look like this now on the board:https://imgur.com/a/iiy71po

	how does it took from the backside of the board? maybe you can unscrew the standoffs and switch them out?

	Hard to see without taking out everything. Was hoping for some answers that confirms the possible solution of switching out the standoff from the back before doing all the work.

	I tried to find some descent pictures of the backside, but they are too small to judge by. It doesn't look like screwed, might just be pressed in the hole, but not sure.
