Check you have the correct connector i.e is your pc SATA3 PCIe or Nvme as the connectors are different and are not interchangeable. The easiest way is to check against the SSD drive you took out and make sure the notches match. If you try to plug the wrong socket type in, or the wrong way round, it won't align and can cause damage. I'm presuming it is an M.2 type SSD and think the are SATA3 but it's worth checking up as they can change between models. Hope this helps
