Good day. I'm currently in the process of building a new PC. My last build was around 2018 so it's been a while. I have the ASUS X670E-I and a Crucial T500 for storage. I noticed that upon installing the SSD and the heatsink, it's bowing. There's a visible gap between the thermal pad and the middle part od the SSD. Should I be worried about it or is it ok? I've attached a picture for reference. Thanks.
