What is  WWAV ? Do you mean WWAN ? WWAN slot is NOT or storage that explains why.  On the pho to you can see it is LONGER.

The series supports Intel XMM™ 7360 LTE-Advanced (Cat 9) WWAN card on some machines.

Ahmed619, you've obviously installed a plain M-key PCIe SSD upside down in a B-key PCIe slot.  You either have to use a B+M key old PCIe drive, or get yourself an appropriate adapter like this one from Tindie:

Please don't install PCIe devices upside down because you might cause the drive to fail or even permanent MOTHERBOARD damage! Take care.

By the way, concerning your question "is there any kind of M2 SSD for this lab or not", the answer is that the first two generations of the elitebook 745 (that means 745 G1 and 745 G2) did NOT have a slot for m.2 drives. And by looking at the pictures you've posted of your motherboard, it's not a 745G7 but a 745G1 or 745G2.

So the only thing you can do is upgrade your 500GB HDD to a faster SATA 2.5″ SSD of higher capacity......
