Any luck installing an internal SSD onto the mPCIE card for the Maximux V Formula?

One of the reasons I spec'd this board because it had the mPCIE SSD option, however, now that I've started building this project, I find that there appears that there is not enough room between the I/O shield and the water/air block over the MOSFET to allow the mPCIE holder to fit back onto it's connector. This is because the tail of the SSD (like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211664) is too long for the space and makes contact with the block before the mPCIE card fits onto its pins.

Am I right that using an internal SSD in the mPCIE will not work or am I being too gentle/scared in trying to "fit" this all together? How'd you do it?

Cheers!!

Have mentioned in the manual: The mPCIe combo supports full-sized and hald-sized mSATA modules.The suggested size are from 50.8mm x 30mm to 26.8mm x 30mm.
