There are four metal tabs that resemble screws that stick out on the sides of the drive. I am unable to insert the drive into the enclosure you sold me. I know I have the correct model of my MacBook Pro but the drive clearly doesn't fit. Can these tabs be removed in order to fit the enclosure or do I need to get a different one?
See the tabs circled in red.
Is this a good question?

Ok, got it! These are the mounting pins (threaded screw) that the bracket holds the drive in place which you can see in Step 7 in this guide and the other side slides into the holes provided.
Then jump to Step 11 which points to the four mounting pins in this guide MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010 Hard Drive Replacement you'll need a Torx T6 screwdriver to remove them.

Got them out, and it works! Thank you!
