Below is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

Maintenance and Service Guide

Chapter 1 indicates it has support for one 2.5" drive and one M.2 NVMe SSD.

Since your laptop came with a 512 GB NVMe SSD, most likely the parts are not there to install a 2.5" drive.

If you didn't want to remove the 512 GB SSD and install a larger capacity one, you would have to find and buy the parts to add a 2.5" drive that are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual.
