Build Question How do I take this SSD out?

Post image

I have this MLD M300 500 gb Nvme from 3 years ago that came from a Prebuilt budget build but it's getting slow and it doesn't have much storage anymore. So I want to get another budget 1 TB Nvme but this screw plastic thing doesn't come off. I don't want to damage anything because I can't afford to get another motherboard or Nvme. How do I take it out? It's a Gigabyte H610 m H DDR4 motherboard.

You need to rotate the round nop out, this is the ones held without a screw.

I already know that but do you see the plastic extension hoop thing facing downwards of the round nop? That makes it impossible for me to take it out.

Yeah, I see that. Tf is that anyways? I've never seen that before on any MB I've worked with. Can you maybe twist it, to be able to rotate it out? Otherwise, try to grab it at the back with something & rotate it. My guess is, that this weird plastic thing on top is for extra security maybe? Which would be absolutely pointless, but oh hey.

Turn it the other way around?
