Hey everyone, I'm really in need of some guidance on how to install a Crucial P310 SSD in my PC. I'm a total beginner, and here's my setup: I've got an ASUS PRIME A520M-K motherboard, a Ryzen 5 5500 CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU, and 16GB of RAM. I bought my SSD but just can't seem to figure out the installation process. I've checked out some online tutorials, but nothing seems to clarify things for me. If anyone can provide step-by-step guidance, pictures, or tips that are easy to understand, I'd really appreciate it!

You need to install the SSD in the M.2 slot on your motherboard. It's located below the GPU PCIe slot and to the left of the silver chipset heatsink. Just insert it at about a 30-degree angle and then press it down. Don’t forget to use the M.2 screw that should have been included in the motherboard box!
I opened my PC and found the "M.2 (Socket 3)" slot, but it's on the back of the motherboard. It looks like all the slots are already in use, and I can't see where to connect the SSD. Sorry if this is a basic question!
