Your Aspire R5-471T has an M.2 slot for the SSD and supports SATA drives in that slot. You can put in any size you can afford. Since your system came with Windows 10, it uses a GPT drive format and the limit is in the billions of TB...
You can find reasonable prices on 1TB and 2TB drives, which would be a big size increase from your existing 256GB. Pick up an external SATA M.2 SSD case at the same time to allow you to clone the current drive to the new one in the case, then after verifying the clone process came out correct swap the new drive in place of the old and boot it up. Once you are sure everything is working as expected just put the old drive into the case, plug it into the computer and use Disk Management to wipe the old partitions off and create a single new one. The old drive and case are then available as extra storage...

The Aspire R5-471T takes M.2 SATA III type SSD only and the Adata XPG SX6000 Lite PCIe Gen3x4 M.2 2280 Solid State Drive is not suitable that is why its not reading on your machine. Below is the list of the highest capacity M.2 SSD drives Acer fits to the R5-471T but, the capacities are governed by the GUID Partitioning Table (GPT) and Master Boot Record (MBR) formatting rules that govern capacities within windows OS.
