[basic question] help me understand the socket on my motherboard (sopuli.xyz)

I have a GigaByte AB350M-DASH motherboard.

This motherboard has a M2_WIFI socket, M keyed, if I correctly understood what I've been reading on it.

I have already bought a standard PCI card, as buying an M2 card would end being more expensive, but would an E keyed card work on this motherboard too?

I was looking at an AX200 card, and it keyed as such.

Couldn't find documentation about it, but in visual inspection the slot seems to fit both A and E key

That is exactly the layout of the card I was looking at.

Thank you.
