I got a new NVMe and when installing it initially had trouble pushing it in. I made sure my laptop had the correct PCIe.
In the end it worked out, but I was trying to push it in while it was flat, whereas I believe you had to insert it at a 30 degree angle to fit in.
I initially used my thumb to push it in flat with slight force and am worried that I may have possibly "worn" the connector a bit when doing that.
Are NVMe designed to take pressure like this on the connectors when inserted flat by accident?
