Unlike many here who have their own shop, I'm a contract worker jumping around larger corporate customers configuration & fixing their equipment.
Presently I service three large customers winding down from eight.
My largest is in the process of converting from Mac to HP laptop systems as they require USB-A ports in their systems for security key dongle's and other devices which prohibit the use of USB-A to USB-C conversion dongle's.
I will be starting up a mail-in service for MacBook's & MacBook Pro's beginning in 2018.

Apple sold the 21’5 models in three configs HDD only (no SSD connecter), SSD only or a Fusion drive which has both HDD & SSD (has SSD connector).
Not in the 21.5” models only the 27”
IFIXIT did two articles on the flex cable issue in the 2016/17 with a follow up on the 2018 model which has a slightly improved design.
● The design flaw behind the MacBook Pro's "stage light" Effect

Sadly you can’t fix this or offer additional structure without effecting how it works. Apple needs to fix this just like the keyboard issues which effect both the MacBook & MacBook Pro models which use the Butterfly design. Basically, the designs where over reaching the limits of the physics and use.
The VRM’s are undersized! But this is intensional! As the system does not have the cooling mass or heat dissipater design needed to cool the CPU & GPU effectively at the higher loads.
You’re mixing your eggs! White & Brown eggs both use the same constuction in building the shell. Thats the same here!
The display assemblies design is the same. Apple glued the cover and panel together so you can’t take them apart as in years past when we had a independent cover glass.
There is still a PCH chip the T2 connects to it accessing the PCIe lanes
RD Rubio - Review the BeetsTech guide above (Blue URL Link) find your MacBook Pro and compare it to your iMac you have.
Apple uses a custom Samsung drive.

What you used to clean the adhesive could have left a film which interfered with the adhesion.
Rubbing, ethanol isopropyl alcohol can have junk in them that could have messed you up. You really want to use reagent grade (85% or better). To test your solvent is to get a small glass bowl to place some of the solvent and carefully warm it no flames! to speed up the evaporation do you have any staining at the bottom.
Not really, It would be smarter just running the two drives independently (dual drive). Setup the blade SSD as your boot drive and your new SATA SSD as your data drive. One of the issues you face is the size of the blade SSD may not offer enough free space to cache your work if you are working on large photo’s, vid’s or music pieces.
