Hp 15-da1056nx only supports 2 PCIe lanes?

Hello,
So I bought a samsung 970 evo plus ssd recently and putted it in my hp 15-da1056nx laptop which has the following specs:
i5-8265U
16gb + 4gb ddr4 ram 2400mhz.
and the ssd speed is only 1700 mb/s when I benchmark it instead of 3500 mb/s of what advertised and what I saw on the internet of other people benchmarks.
is this normal for my laptop? Or is there a problem with the ssd?
In the samsung magician app it says that it’s only using PCIe gen. 3 x 2 and not PCIe gen. 3 x 4 so only 2 PCIe lanes are used. Does my model only supports 2 lanes because I didn’t find anything online about that. Below is a photo of the nvme slot.

Is it normal for my laptop model? Or it has a problem?

Hi:

Unfortunately, that is normal for the entire HP 15-da0xxx, 15-da1xxx and HP 250 G7 model series.

For some reason while NVMe SSD's are supported, they only use two PCIe lanes, so they run at approximately half of their advertised speeds.

Many forum members such as yourself have reported this problem, so there is nothing wrong with your NVMe SSD and there is no way to get all 4 PCIe lanes to work.
