upgrade ssd optiplex 3070SFF

I have a Dell optiplex 3070SFF. Which has a NVMe SSD Western Digital 128gb drive with Windows 11 on it I bought a Crucial T500 NVMe drive (500gb) to upgrade this machine along with an extra 8gb of RAM. I used a USB adaptor to install the T500 SSD in and downloaded the Cloning software Acronis from the crucial site However there is no way I can get the WD drive to clone to the T500. I have spent hours on the Crucial chat speaking to different people trying all sorts of suggestions and getting nowhere. I am now at the stage where I am about to return this drive unless someone can come up with a solution or suggest an alternative  drive that will work in the delll NVMe slot and one I can copy the WD drive to

You did not mention the model number of the adapter. Are you sure it is an NVMe adapter and not SATA only? Also if that software does not work try Macrium Reflect Free available here.

Yes it is definitely an NVME adaptor the It holds the drive in the slot and connects to a USB3 socket. The drive showed up on the machine ok but no way could I get it to work So I have now returned it for a refund. 
Can anyone tell me what spec drive I need to fit the 3070SFF please? Or is there a list of compatible NVME ssd drives for thus Dell model
