I just bought a 2.5" SSD and I'm having trouble figuring out where to install it in my Kolink Stronghold case. I think it should go above the HDD rack, close to the motherboard where there are four squares, but when I try to screw it in from behind, I can't connect the cables due to lack of space, and it seems to be positioned incorrectly. I wish I could share a picture for better clarity. Do I need an extra bracket or something? I ended up just plugging it in and letting it sit loose for now. Not the most aesthetic solution, but at least it's working!

Make sure that the connectors are pointing towards the motherboard as shown in the manual. Also, check if there are any other mounting positions behind the motherboard—just unscrew that bracket to attach your SSD there! You might find it fits better and looks cleaner.
When in doubt, just use some double-sided tape! Since SSDs have no moving parts, just keep it secure enough that it doesn’t move around when you transport your PC. There’s also some cool double-sided velcro tape that you could use if you want a more flexible option!
You really don’t need to worry too much about mounting SSDs perfectly since they don’t have moving parts. You could use double-sided tape to stick it anywhere or just let it sit loose somewhere safe. It’ll be just fine!
If you're still stuck, maybe try posting a picture on imgur and linking it here. It’ll help others see what you're dealing with and offer more specific advice!
Got it! Here’s the link to my setup: https://imgur.com/a/BC934Cj Don't mind the dust!
That's an option I am seriously considering, I've been on it for an hour 😀
