The second PCIe M.2 slot is for Gen3 x 2 SSD not Gen4 x 4, the main M.2 slot is for a Gen4 x 4 SSD.
I recommend the NVMe Samsung 970Pro SSD for the second slot, up to 1TB has been tested by Acer.1 -
This is the AN515-46 storage specs, Storage 1 is the M.2 SSD boot drive slot and Storage 2 is the slave M.2 SSD drive which is a Gen 3 slot and is 50% slower in read/write speeds to the Gen4 boot drive.
