No they are keyed differently

Wifi cards use A+E keying, SSD usually M keying

M.2 - Wikipedia

(* There are however some adapters, so it might be possible, but it's unlikely to give full nvme performance)

Is it time for a new motherboard?

Honestly just buy regular sata SSDs if you need to expand general storage and you're out of M.2 slots ... Much easier... Especially if you have a few old ones laying around.
