Hero Z790 M.2 Configuration Question

I have a Maximus Z790 Hero that I am just setting up. I have an NVME M.2 chip that I want to install into the MB but I want to ensure that none of the PCI-E slots are unavailable. What is the best slot and M.2 BIOS setting when I want to have all PCI-E expansion slots available?

Hi, I will place it on the M.2_1 slot of the motherboard for an M.2 pci-e 4.0 x4 SSD or on the Hyper M.2_1 slot via the Rog Hyper Card for an M.2 pci-e 5.0 x4 SSD

Thank you! Can you also confirm that all the PCI-E slots can be used when the M.2_1 slot is being used, please?
