See p. 52 of the Manual here:
The SSD "cradle" is not on top of the hard drive it is placed in lieu of the hard drive. You can have EITHER a SATA 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD OR a "slim" (M.2) disk placed in a caddy which adapts the M.2 to the standard SATA connector on the motherboard.
You pretty well figured it out. The Manual is "generic" but it accurately shows the innards of your laptop and there is no separate M.2 slot and HP does not offer this model in any kind of a dual drive configuration and there is really no good way to have dual storage drives in it. A 2.5 inch SATA SSD would run just as fast as an M.2 slim disk in that configuration and would cost you less because you would not need the adapter parts which are not cheap. Your best upgrade would be a 1 TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Prices have kind of leveled off here recently but if you watch for sales you can still get a decent deal on one. The 5400 rpm hard drive sold with the laptop is the system bottleneck right now.
