By the looks of it, you can remove the metal bracket once the small nvme drive is unscrewed and then you can move it to the 2280 place under the black tabs...

EDIT: I see @bfunke already posted a pic.

That particular scheme of mounting M.2 drives struck me as just plain nuts, to coin a phrase.

There may be some good reason to require a separate part rather than just building a couple of posts into the motherboard (as is usually done with desktop motherboards), but it's not obvious to me.

To make things even more interesting, some Dells with multiple M.2 slots use 2 kinds of post adapters.
