What parts am I missing to install this SSD into my late 2013 iMac 27"?
Hi everyone. I have a late 2013 iMac 27". Model A1419 / EMC 2639.
It was a custom order with 512GB Blade SSD. That SSD recently died and I was quoted over NZ$1700 for a replacement and installation. Apparently only apple stocks this drive and no other 3rd party manufacturer drives will fit in its place.
That's too expensive (more than the actual value of the machine) so I bought the following product from OWC. I planned on installing an SSD and removing the faulty Blade SSD:

However, when I opened up the iMac, I discovered it's missing some parts needed to complete the install.
What my iMac looks like:
The OWC SSD and DIY kit I have is below. 4 of the screws provided have been installed already to hold the SSD in the AdaptaDrive. I have 4 screws left (parts seen at https://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/K27IM12HE500/).
And this is where the SSD needs to go in my iMac (step 28):

Can someone kindly please identify the parts I need (and perhaps their model numbers) so I can install the SSD? I'm hoping I can still purchase them from somewhere in New Zealand.
Thanks in advance!
