Ssd and my Motherboard Predator G3-710

I honestly have no clue what I’m doing with the inside of my computer so I better ask before I break something. I have a Predator G3-710 and a 1TB Crucial NVme M.2 ssd.
It apparently needs a Pcie port, which I have located to the left of my Graphics driver.
Problem is I cannot fit it in, flipped it around face this way face that way upside down all around and it won’t fit. The crucial manual has been no help, apparently it supposed to shove it into a rectangle thing, there ain’t nothing rectangle in that motherboard. I have successfully dropped the SSD underneath my Graphics card 3 times and will probably damage one if I continue to try shove it in.
Attached is both the Slots and where I’m referencing the location of the ports. I hope someone can assist me / tell me it doesn’t work before I lose my mind.
