Please confirm Step by Step SSD Upgrade of 14,1 Imac 21.5 (Late 2013)
I am a windows user who has previously upgraded my SSD but now am working on an unfamiliar iMac that belongs to my wife so want to get my ducks in a row….
Parts List:

I already have the IFIXIT Tool Repair Kit.
My plan is as follows:
Clone HD to SSD using Samsung Data Migration and the above the external enclosure.
Then use the following instructions for opening Imac.

Concern: Read TRIM can be an issue but unclear if I have to change any setttings and how to do it.
Concern: Read Fan running continuously is an issue because heat sensor or ???
Question: Do I need a bracket or spacer to hold the SSD in place?
Is there anything else that I am missing?
