Cannot install M2 2280 on Lenovo Yoga pro 9i gen 11

I tried both Samsung 990 Pro 1TB (single side chip) and Kingston Fury 2TB (double side chip) and none of them work. I cannot completely close the back plate with the M2 SSD installed. There a small gap as you can see on the 3d photo, that side of the back plate just doesn’t click in. I have tried many options but still cannot get it to works . The back plate clicked in perfectly as soon as I removed the ssd. I tried to looked under the gap but could not see anything that gets in the way. I can close the back plate if I push it down with force and then screw it down but I’m afraid it may cause an issue.

Is there anyone that successfully install m2 ssd in the Gen 11? I checked on Youtube but could not find any instruction video for this model. Any help is greatly appreciate. Thank you.
