Looks like there's an M.2 slot under the graphics card. Link

Ask the internet isnt always available, or right. Refer to the manufacturer manual whenever possible as a first.

AsRock B550 Pro4 manual

Page 13 of the Manual PDF has the answer in this case.

Where do you get the manual without internet? The local library?

Clearly OP's got internet access some-which-how.

Most likely you’ll find it if you remove the GPU. Should be a removable plate that you’ll reveal that way, and you’ll find the SSD beneath that

Probably under the gfx card looking at the mobo product pics. The gfx card is covering it.

I'm not 100% certain of this, but id suspect it's in the lower right quadrant in the pic you posted. Probably nestled between the graphics card and the ram. Might be covered by a heat shield

It is covered by a heat shield. Thanks!

Glad that worked!

The M.2 is unoccupied and is for wifi. The hard drive is not on the board.
