Acer M5-581TG SSD HDD Bracket

Hi, hoping someone can help me, I have an Acer M5-581T(G) which refuses to power on or even show any signs of charging, I have logged a call with Acer to get it looked at, they said I was allowed to remove the hard drive temporarily to backup my data which is a MSATA mini PCi-e 128GB SSD. I has to buy a Mini PCI-e to SATA adaptor to allow me to connect it to another PC for backup. What my problem is that the HDD was attached to a bracket that was then screwed into the motherboard of the laptop to hold it in place, stupidly I have somehow misplaced that bracket from having to remove it to allow me to attach the HDD to the mini PCI-e adaptor. Can anyone help me with what that would be called or a part number for it so I can order a replacement for it before I have to send it back to Acer for repair.

I have the service guide but it only shows the HDD variant. Is the SSD mounted where a normal HDD would go (on the right hand side, at the back by the fan) or where the mSATA plugs onto the motherboard near the front? Both have brackets. Let me know which and I'll look for name/part number.

HI,Thanks for the quick response, its mounted towards the front into the MSATA slot, its the same size as the drive & im sure there are 2 screw holes for attaching the drive to it & another 2 screw holes to then attach that to the motherboard. (thats just from memory 2 months ago)
