1. Make sure to move to High Sierra while still on your old drive, so that a newer firmware is installed that can handle NVMe.
2. Do a full backup to your Time Machine.
3. Create a High Sierra Installer on a bootable USB stick.
4. Open the macbook and disconnect the battery while wsitching out the drive and make sure both adapter and new SSD sit snug. Finally reconnect the battery before closing the shell.
5. Insert the installer USB stick from step2, and press the option key while the machine starts. Once its up you can now go to the disk utils to format.
Note:
Becase we test every one before ship, we suggest you to try again if Mac can not detect NVMe SSD, Pls note to insert card fully into SSD slot and must prepare bootable USB disk (see 3rd point) with High Sierrato format M. 2 SSD first, it can support recover from internet.
