3.5" HDD to 2.5" SSD adapter for server hot swap tray

I needed a server with 3.5" hot swap trays, but I didn't want to put those outdated hard drives in it. The issue was that 2.5" SSDs don't align with the mount holes. You can't drill below to secure it because it has to be flush to fit in the server. Furthermore, the SATA connector pin alignment requires the SSD to lay flat on the bottom and flat against the edge of the tray. So I built an adapter that aligns with HDD mount points and holds the SSD in place with small dimples and some friction. The particular chassis I had was a Chenbro RM13704. I'm not sure if it would fit other chassis as well, but please comment if you find it fits anything else. Also, I'm attaching a SCAD file so you can customize dimensions if it doesn't fit. PS: If you look at the SCAD screenshot, all my drawings have this annoying thin film on edges of everything I subtract from, unless I add an explicit overlap. If you have a suggestion to fix it without arbitrary 0.01 adjustments, I would appreciate it if you could let me know!
