Just received 2 Official Raspberry PI SSD Kits (Hats) and the extension header included with the kit is too short (pictures attached). It looks like they made the spacers longer to accommodate the RPI 5 Active Cooler (Fan), but forgot to make the extension header longer.
The included header is barely long enough to make connection with the pass through header. You certainly can't use any other Hats with this setup. I'm not sure if they are even long enough for the SSD to work.
I didn't try it the included header because luckily, a coworker had a spare "Adafruit Extra Tall Stacking Header 1979" which was tall enough. Even with it, the pins should really be a little longer to make a good fit with any additional Hats.
