I think your machine is an HP Notebook - 15-ac648tx :

 

    https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-15-ac600-notebook-pc-series/9329955/document/c05055127

 

It only has 1 slot/bay for HDD. You can add HDD using ODD (Optical drive) slot but it won't boot from therefore my suggesion:

 

(a) Buy a 2.5" standard SSD for laptop,

(b) Clone existing HDD to SSD,

(c) Install SDD to the existing HDD bay/clot,

(d) Using a SDD-HDD adapter and install old HDD to it.

 

Note: adapter must be Fixed, serial ATA and 9.5-mm thick.

 

Regards.
