Aurora R10, adding NVMe M.2 SSD via a PCIe adapter

(NOTE-THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT 970 EVO PLUS)

I am planning to add this SSD:

Samsung 970 EVO PLUS SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MFZXR1B/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_BeEtEbKCT8MTX

To my Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition using either one of these adapters:

Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYCQP38/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

or

M.2 NVME to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter with Aluminum Heatsink Solution (used successfully by others on R7's)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JJTVGZM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Plugged into the PCI-Express x4 slot (SLOT3)

Will it work?

Note that I already have the factory M.2 NVMe 2TB card on-board plugged into the solid-state drive slot (M.2 SSD).
