I too purchased these and sit perfect in the port with space between adapter and the HDD.
The adapter and ssd are both the same width.
M.2 TO USB ADAPTER, RIITOP M.2 NVME & NGFF SSD TO USB READER CONVERTER ADAPTER FOR BOTH B KEY AND M KEY SSD
Samsung 980 500 GB PCIe 3.0 (up to 3500mbs) NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-V8V500BW)
Hope this helps someone.
