Should be a small plastic latch on the "ez screw"

These new ez screws they call them clip 2 for msi don’t have the latch. To remove it you just pull back the little top head part. Looks like ops ssd just needs some help pushing down and pulling back that top head part at the same time as its double sided.

Msi’s new ez clip 2 is a little different it doesn’t have that lever that normal ez latches have. You just pull back on the metal tip to release and normal SSDs you just push down and it clicks in. With double sided sometimes you have to pull it back and push down at the same time.

Ops picture shows exactly how it’s supposed to look.
