Replace silver plate with smaller form factor
I just purchased this item and am not yet convinced that I should return it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016K0896K/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's the right product, but I needed the smaller form factor.
It looks like that silver piece that holds it into the computer could be replaced with screws or I could return it and replace it with one that is a smaller form factor.
Assistance in finding either would be greatly appreciated.

The PC is a smaller form-factor.
Then get a USB WiFi adapter. What is the exact model of your PC?

I would rather have one that is PCIe for this.

It has onboard WLAN already as far as I know. Or are you trying to put a dualband card into it?
You would need either a USB dongle or a card like this: https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Optiplex-Wireless-Assembly-CN-0T186D/dp/B0756K5894/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Check if you can find it in local PC shops.

It is a standard PCIe WiFi Card. And yes the screw outside the PC box will hold it.
