NVME drives are usually inserted into the slot at an angle around 45 degrees, and then secured to the motherboard with a screw. Some motherboards use other methods like push-pins to secure the drive.

It's not included with the drive. I had to order one off another site to mount it.

I would say that it needs a screw. It did with my specific motherboard. If I didn't use the screw, I'm certain that it would have eventually wiggled out of the slot.

M.2 drives will need a screw to hold it down. Usually the screw is already installed on the motherboard stand off. If not then you maybe able to order the correct screw online.

You don't need a screw believe it or not it works without one. I had to install mine without my little baggie of motherboard screws so it's just hanging in the socket all air cooled and everything far away from the hot as motherboard I got :)
