- Second M.2 Slot Under/Behind GPU?

I found a deal for a M.2 SSD, and I see everywhere that the 30L Hana motherboard has a second M.2 slot, but I could never find it. After extensive digging, I believe it might be under/behind the graphics card, as the graphics card goes across the entire PC. If I am correct in this, will I be able to fit the SSD there and not interfere with anything?
I'm new to all this, and I'm not even sure I'm correct as to the placement, but the SSD2 slot is definitely not anywhere that can normally be seen on my PC, so either I don't have one, or the GPU is hiding the slot.
Thank you for any answers.

Hi:
Below is the link to the Hana motherboard specs.

I see two M.2 slots listed.
One for a M.2 SSD and one for a M.2 Wi-Fi adapter.
You cannot use the Wi-Fi adapter M.2 slot for anything other than a Wi-Fi adapter, which I assume is already occupied by a Wi-Fi adapter.

hi
sorry but
i see :
(2) M.2 socket 3, key M (for SSD card PCIe x4 Gen 3)
the second is often hidden by the graphics card indeed

even if the motherboards are different, it's often quite close
