See Height limitations when using double-sided SSD for Primary Storage

there is no compatibility for double sided M.2 2230 SSDs in the Secondary Storage slot.

Otherwise, if you want to use a double-sided 2280, you need to know the bottom side and topside heights of your SSDs, which I do not see on Kioxia pdf.
