Did my Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 Lite arrive with a hardware defect?

I just received my Raspberry Pi CM5lite 4GB, and it appears to be missing the bracket that holds the SD card.

Compute modules don’t have a SD card socket, that would be on the I/O board the compute module plugs into. If you’re referring to the empty pads in the upper left hand corner of your board, that’s where the wireless module would have been had you purchased a wireless version compute module.

Thank you for your response! Bummer, I didn’t realize I had ordered a unit without WiFi. Now I know!
