Hi,
Your notebook only supports M2 SATA3 and not M2 PCIe NVMe, so the 970 Evo Plus is not going to work.
You need an M2 SATA3 such as the M2 Samsung 860 Evo or similar.
You can see on page 3 of the service manual:

Let me know if you need further help,

It is possible. A hardware error can block the PC at boot and not reach the logo..
Maybe you are asking if it is possible the SSD or the slot is broken? Well, very unlikely. I mean, it is possible but you have no real way to check it without trying to use the correct type of M2 SSD (M2 SATA3 SSD) or trying the M2 PCIe NVMe SSD in a different computer (which supports it)
