I wrote in support. They wrote me this:
Kindly click here to refer the manual on page 32 for unscrew the screws of the thermal cover and you should able to see the CMOS battery.
That is all.
I removed everything I could. Well, I only see this. No battery.

Yes, even according to the manual, the battery should be here. But I'm not able to put the plastic cover down. It has no screw and holds firmly.
And it's a big plastic pot that goes up to almost half of the board in one piece. In addition, there is RGB lighting in this plastic. And I wouldn't want to damage or break it.
And nowhere in the manual is there instructions on how to put this plastic down. The instructions are only for what is already revealed in the photo.
So I really don't know anymore

of course, I'll let you know when they answer me
if I have to disassemble the whole computer due to an ordinary battery ... this is really not normal in my opinion. specifically in my case, i would have to remove the processor heatsink. and I really don't want to ...
I'm sorry for my english. it's just google translator

I got this answer from Gigabyte support:
After confirmed with related department, the cover is removable; however, it may cause the hardware damage while removing it. Therefore, we suggest you to contact your supplier (where you bought this product) and let them help you to remove it.
That is all...
Well, she didn't please me. I don't understand that replacing a CMOS battery is literally a pain with such a premium and expensive product. Until I disassemble the entire computer, remove the motherboard from the case, the battery cannot be replaced. It's really incomprehensible to me that replacing a battery that takes 10 seconds will take me all day. My fault. If I had found out before, I would never have bought the TRX40 AORUS XTREME. Otherwise, the motherboard is great, it works perfectly. But the fact about the extremely complicated replacement of CMOS batteries is incomprehensible to me.
