Pro NVMe adapter Does not fit ! ?

***********************

    Hello,  Luke,  TLLIM,   or  ??

          We seem to have a clearance problem with the M.2 NVMe  adapter  and card not quite fitting into the allotted space.
 
  ! !    It is hitting the underside of the touch pad.
      *         Causes the touch pad to lift out of place when the cover is closed
      *          And the touch pad to not respond properly.

      >  I have replied to the persons that experienced the problem over at the first impressions thread.
      >   I made a few suggestions to them on possible fixes,

      *      but   it may be better with some official intervention ?

       After thinking about it,  I figured this should have its own thread  ? 
       Though if those sound like acceptable solutions, 
          maybe you (Admin) could move my previous posts those over here  ?


          Is there a "Factory Approved"  solution  ?

        I have already received my adapter,  waiting on my own PBP.

                            ************************

Still two weeks until the hopeful ship date,  I have not heard any recent mention of the NVMe and adapter fitting problems  ?

 From what I read and the few pictures showed.  It looked like the threaded post that holds the module in place was sticking higher than the actual module.
I believe there was one post that said the mounting post hit the underside of the touch pad without the NVMe module even installed... ( ? )

>   I have been wondering if a clip or some kind of band could be fashioned to hold the module  ?
   It would need to be away from the touch pad area,  and not hold the module too close to the adapter board.
   As that threaded post with the groove holds the module, it leaves a little clearance between the module and the adapter board.
 Careful that the holder only touches the chips and not the circuitry on the module..  !  Perhaps using a thermal pad or thermal tape  ?
  ( May even be helpful to trim the end of the adapter 'board'  in the area near the touch pad )  ?

   I May try fashioning a clip while I am waiting since I do have my NVMe module and my adapter already.
 But I will wait on trimming the adapter board until I can see for myself how it all fits together....

I am anxious to hear from any others who already have their PBP's   ?
