I am also searching for the right screw. There wasn’t one there before as there was no M.2 SSD there before (late 2015 iMac with HDD configuration). It’s definitely smaller than the T8 Torx’s I have been taking out so far.
This is the part where my repair came to a halt. I was hoping to use a screw of my hard drive for the securing of the M.2, but it seems to be smaller than t8. Now I have to buy a t6 or t7 screw, I can’t tell which size it is.. Any advice welcome! I have the late 2015 imac.
i could not get it out by the force of my fingers, so what i did was slightly turn the imac 90 degrees so i could reach the area better, push up (so, vertically) the power control board, push in the tab on the bottom of the connector with my right hand, and slightly wiggle the connector out of its socket with a plier

ultimately the trick for me was to just pull hard enough, but that part is the scariest part. any tips welcome
what about the part where the camera is though? do I just treat it like the rest of the screen?
