Your notebook should have 1 NVMe slot, and 1 2.5" SATA slot to use.
Without knowing what drive(s) you already have installed, hard to really say yes or no at this point.

I want to upgrade my Alpha 15 B5EEK-053RU laptop. Specification lists 2 x M.2 (NVMe PCIe Gen3) SSD slots. I would like to install a Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB MZ-V8P2T0BW SSD or Samsung 980 Pro SSD with a 2 TB heatsink MZ-V8P2T0CW (80x24x8.6mm dimensions seem to fit). But the question is, are M.2, PCI Express 4.0 x4 compatible?

Хочу сделать в ноутбуке Alpha 15 B5EEK-053RU апгрейд. В характеристике указаны 2 слота для твердотельных накопителей M.2 (NVMe PCIe Gen3).
Хотел бы установить Твердотельный накопитель Samsung 980 Pro 2 ТБ MZ-V8P2T0BW или SSD Samsung 980 Pro с радиатором 2 ТБ MZ-V8P2T0CW (размеры 80х24х8.6мм вроде как помещается). Но вот вопрос совместимы ли M.2, PCI Express 4.0 x4?

Technically but it would be a waste of money and the drive wont that work well. Also the heatsink wouldn't work well even if it fits. I would get a 970 evo plus and not worry about compatibility; cheaper as well.
