The screw in my PS5 was too tight and I can no longer get it off. Is there any replacement screws and spacers that anyone can recommend on Amazon UK? Many thanks in advance.
I have the same problem and need a replacement for the screw and spacer.

Use a pair of tweezers to lift and move the spacer to the appropriate slot for your chosen M.2 SSD.
What are the physical dimensions of the spacer and the screw (saw the screw is 11mm, wondering the thread size and length of the threaded portion)? Looking to buy replacements online from someone other than from Sony.
I sent my PS5 back for RMA service for visual artifacts, and it was returned to me without the screw and spacer (I had checked before sending it that the hardware was there). Seems silly to have to send the console back for replace these components, but every time I’ve called technical support - I’ve been on over hour-long wait times (haven’t gotten through to an agent yet).

If your SSD will benefit from a heat sink, follow this guide to install one.

Insert your SSD at a shallow angle into the M.2 socket.
It should be noted here that the Samsung 970 Evo Plus is NOT a PCIE 4.0 SSD (It is NOT fast enough for the PS5)
Yes! Thank you, Rowan. I added a blurb addressing that in the introduction.

Use your finger to press the SSD down until the end sits atop the spacer.

With the SSD on the spacer, insert the SSD screw through the spacer and screw it into place, securing the end of the SSD.

Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the 11 mm-long screw to the end of the SSD.
Forgot one last step:

Hello!
The 11m screw that keeps the SSD in place is totally stripped -- any tips for how to remove it? I've tried the rubber band and duct tape over the screw methods, with no luck.
