Here is the Service Manual:
See pages 4 and 5 for info related to your model. This Manual covers several model series.
Your laptop accepts a PCIe/NVME 2280 form factor M.2 disk or a SATA-3 M.2 disk of the same size and shape. So either 3 prong (B + M) keyed disks or "M" key will fit in the M.2 slot.
"How to" starts on p. 37 and here is what you see inside when you get the back cover off:
Left to right: RAM, M.2, HDD
The blank space on the lower right is the battery and the upgradeable components are marked above.
Samsung Evo 960 is an option:
