Yes. The install went smoothly. Is the expansion bay cable the same as the midplate connector? Does it have anything to do with the graphics module interpolator?

I installed RAM and a 2nd SSD at the same time that I installed the Graphics Module.

I had a similar issue that was fixed after I removed the interposer, made sure there was no dust and installed it back.

Also, please make sure that you’ll use the right order for the screws based on the video from the article shared by Destroya.
