Maybe you should contact Chuwi Expert to ask if the metal part’s attached to mainboard or not. In your picture, I think you could pluck it out with a Phillips screwdriver 😅

It’s very easy, it’s just a clip on the plastic parts at the top of the photo with a small screwdriver.

There is no connection. It is only to prevent the SSD 2242 from moving or being released but it can be removed without any problem and install a 2280
