Hi:

Since your notebook has an AMD processor, there may not be any Wi-Fi 6 cards available you can install.

The biggest problem you have is that a Wi-Fi 6 card requires two antenna wires to work properly, and your notebook only has one antenna wire.

Adding a second antenna wire takes quite a lot of disassembly, and you would have to order the dual antenna kit part number listed in chapter 3, page 22 of the service manual to add the missing auxiliary antenna wire.

If you want to go through all of that trouble, then one of these cards might be the only two I can think of that may have any chance of working.   

There are no guarantees any of them will work because no Wi-Fi 6 cards were offered in the model series.
