Yes, they are downward compatible.
The first and last PCIE slot should only be used.The middle two PCIE M2 slots share the lanes with the graphics card.If these are occupied you only have 8 lanes with the graphics card.I would use the slot at the bottom because later when upgrading with more Ssd memory the first slot can be used without having to remove the graphics card.

Good morning everyone,
I had a question regarding my motherboard, today trying to install Windows 11 it said that the components did not support the minimum requirements (component list at the bottom), consequently I installed Windows 10 and I can see that the problem in question is the TPM, apparently my motherboard despite having enabled TPM from the Windows bios finds it as incompatible, how can I precede?
Component list:
CPU: Ryzen 9 7900x
GPU: Nvidia Gainward 4070 Super
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 DDR5 48Gb 8000mHz
Storage: Samsung Evo 990 Pro 2Tb
Case: NZXT H9 flow
CPU Cooler: NZXT 360 Élite
PSU: Corsare HX1000
Motherboard: Aorus B650E
Thank you for your cooperation

A RAM kit up to 5000-6000Mhz is probably good, depending on how much you want to spend, but most important is that it is compatible with AMD EXPO.
Here is an article that explains how AMD EXPO works: https://windows.atsit.in/de/8877/ (here on an asus mainboard, but from my own experience I can say that it looks very similar on gigabyte).
