I bought Siren Duo 360 AIO watercooling solution for CPU and SSD.
The problem is that SSD cooler has normal screw and M2_1 slot has some toolless mechanism instead of classic M.2 standoff.

Is it possible somehow to remove that mechanism and put classic M.2 standoff screw to finalize installation of SSD cooler and if it's possible, how to remove it?
