It ONLY has ONE M.2  slot which support M.2 SATA SSD and may be M.2 NVMe SSD but not both at the same time.

Regards.

@Qwert1232,

You may be able to install both the drives using a male to female SATA extension cable like this. . .maybe. 

Amazon.com: 22 Pin SATA Male to Female Extension Cable : Electronics

Install the M.2 NVMe drive first then plug the male end of the cable into the SATA socket on the motherboard. Run the cable across over the M.2 drive and place the 2.5" SSD so that you can plug the female end of the cable into the 2.5 SSD.  Probably you need to attach the 2.5 SSD to the laptop chasis with something like masking tape.

If there's not enough room between the edge of the M.2 drive and the SATA socket for the male end of the cable to be plugged into the SATA socket, this idea doesn't work.

There are all kinds of SATA socket adapters available online and see if any of them can be used for the dual drive installation.
