Hello, I just bought HP Victus 15 - fa0025nr and I wanted to have 2 SSD slots, when I saw the motherboard, I found an empty slot for SSD m.2 but I could not find the chip that reads the m.2 SSD. Is there any possible solution for having 2 m.2 slots?

It would very likely void the warranty, if it is still in effect, but it should work.
If you don't have the skillset and hot air rework station to do it right, there certainly is a risk involved.

Have you noticed that is only a header there and no slot?
That makes it useless, unless you micro solder in an M.2 connector with a slot for an M.2 SSD.

Making a modification of a systemboard of an HP product is not something that an HP Service Enginerr would be willing to do.
If the modification failed and you complained about it, that would probably cost them their job for doing something beyond the scope of their position.
