Hello! I recently inherited a Dell Optiplex 5090 SFF desktop. I realized it didn't have Wi-fi capabilities, so I attempted to install a Wi-fi card. Unfortunately, the screw provided was too big and simply couldn't be screwed in without disrupting my chassis, which I believe is because my computer is SFF. My main issue is that I'm now unsure which case screws to get. I've heard that 6-32 UNC screws are universal. I'm just confused which length I'm supposed to be getting? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I actually understand nothing about screws!

Can you send a photo of the screw provided with the wifi card and where you're trying to screw it in? Do you have a gpu in the system? A
M2 Screws are usually universal, hilariously they use the M2 size on the Dell. 6/32 are motherboard screws, not M2 slot screws
