A DDR4 module has a slot in a different place than a DDR5 module.
That means that a DDR5 memory module will not physically fit in a soDIMM slot meant for a DDR4 module.
The memory module slot must match the module.

That is a no.
If your laptop has DDR4 it will not physically allow the installation of DDR5 memory modules.
The soDIMM slots are not the same for DDR4 and DDR5.
There is a physical comparison on the wikipedia page at the link below
