At first, I was pre-attaching the hard drive to the antenna plate, but this makes it hard to see if the hard drive is going in as far as it should. After the antenna plate was going in by itself, I focussed on the hard drive. I used a spudger to pry open the groove on the antenna plate, since I had closed it a bit by forcing things. To check the tongue-and-groove fit, I installed the antenna plate by itself, with the hard drive removed. What finally helped me was to check things one at a time. Once in place, I tightened the 6.6mm screws more, which raised the SSD to the proper level.Īfter insuring that the screws all lined up, I installed and tightened the logic board, then the other antenna plate screws. Using the antenna plate as a handle, I was able to guide the SSD into the hard drive mount.

With the SSD attached to the antenna plate, I carefully connected and stowed the Bluetooth cable. I also left the two stand off screws on the logic board off to give me more wiggle room there.
I loosely attached the antenna plate to the hard drive, leaving plenty of wiggle room between the plate and the drive. The problem was the SSD was thinner than the original hard drive, so when I tried to reassemble, the hard drive sat too low for the screws to reach it. The two 6.6mm screws on the antenna plate screw into one side of, and secure, the hard drive. I was installing an SSD in my mini and when I got to this step, an issue came up.
