I replaced the HDD with the SSD by moving the rails attached to the HDD and screwing them onto the SSD. I did not notice any wobble. It seems to me that the rails fit snugly into the space even though the new drive is a couple of mm thinner than the old. But I was assuming that all was well and not looking carefully for problems. I guess I need to open it up again to check.
