This guide was once part of my User Build:

The MB's intel wireless M.2 card hides in the shiny antenna housing on the MB.
Two screws on the back of the MB. These links were helpful:

My gallery has pics of the Build, focusing on the Airport card installation.
Removed WIFI module from the Z370N motherboard
Opened up, comparing old and new cards
Assembled Airport M.2 adapter -
Install the M.2 adapter card into the networking module first, then add the Airport card.
Of course, shield was too small for the taller card. I tried straightening it with a hammer.
Assembled, with the shield. It looked pretty, but it was too tight.
Antennas attached, installed without the shield.
