What is it
-
Looks like a RAID card with NVME drives held down with electrical tape instead of the screws.
Back in the day I had a RAID controller with a GPU fan taped into it so I get it. The tape stayed there for 6 years. Hopefully OP takes care of it sooner because old electrical tape in a hot environment is absolutely disgusting to clean off
-
My question would be, how should it be normally? Is it not compatible with that short nvmes? or does it need an adapter?
-
I tried to find this exactly model and found a dozen similar ones that I'm inclined to think are from the same factory BUT all the ones I saw had the holes drilled for the different length NVMEs. So I'm guessing it's a no-name brand that cut corners
OP could likely drill their own holes assuming they have the right bit. I can't see the back of the card but it's almost definitely blank
-
Yeah the holes are drawn onto the board but not drilled. Probably to cut corners for few microbucks savings.
-
Yes, you're both right. Here's the cheapo card in question.

smol SSDs instead of long SSDs. The proper fix would be one of these to elongate it
Or if OP has a 3d printer, one of these
-
Looks like holding 4 SSDs in place with a strip of tape instead of mounting screws
