Hi:
Unfortunately, there are no Wifi-6/6e cards that will work in your notebook to give you both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth since your notebook only comes with one antenna wire, and all Wifi-6 cards would require two antenna wires in order for the Bluetooth to work.
You could probably upgrade to this model card and connect the single antenna wire to the card's main antenna terminal and have Wi-Fi only.
Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 ax 2×2 + Bluetooth 5.0 MU-MIMO M.2 2230 non-vPro HP part #L35282-005
You can find the above model Wi-Fi card on eBay.
Search buy the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.
Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.
