Oh crap! You are correct.

Well they are still some options.  You can do as you asked and utilise the optical SATA port for the other SSD or add a PCIExpress adapter, if you do not have a video card installed. Something along this type

OR

Or even this type for a SSD M.2 direct mount

Just an FYI - that motherboard has a M.2 socket 1, key A which should accommodate an SSD without needing to disable the optical drive.
