I recently purchased the Acer Aspire E 15, 15.6" Full HD, 7th Gen Intel Core i3-7100U, E5-575-33BM laptop off of Amazon. The unit comes with a slot for an M2 SSD which I have successfully installed, but it does not come with the needed screw and standoff to properly secure it in place. I contacted Acer customer service and they were unable to help me. 

Manufacturer response to similar questions on Amazon's website was: size: M2.0*3.0 and torque: 2.0±0.2KGF/CM. I purchased screws and standoffs based on these specs through ebay but they did not fit. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or if they knew whether there was a different size I should be using.  Thanks!
