To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
If the device does not power on after swapping the SSD, simply plug it in and turn it on.
Note that (if you plan on reusing the SSD) all Surface devices have BitLocker turned on by default. If you want to remove BitLocker, click here.
Also, reinstalling Windows will be different as specific drivers are needed for the detachable keyboard and the touch screen. To make a Windows install for any Surface device, click here. You will need a flash drive of more than 16GB in size.

The screw and required driver are NOT T4 but Torx Plus 3IP (Torx 3 will do the job) according to the MS Service Manual (856727 Microsoft Surface Surface Pro 8 Service Guide - linked at the product page here at ifixit.
If your Screw Strips, like the one of my GF did, you will need a M 1.2 x 2 Screw and a washer to secure the SSD again. I got mine here: https://online-schrauben.de/shop/
They aren't cheap but the fit, aren't too long and work properly, unlike the ones you get from Amazon.
The dimensions I used are:
DIN 84 ST M 1,2 x 2 (Screw)
ISO 7089 A2 200HV 1,6 (Washer)
Have a good one guys.
you just saved my butt. Thank you.
