Everything you need to know is in your manual.
From your motherboard manual

When the M.2_1 Socket 3 is operating in SATA mode, SATA port 1 will be disabled. (top M.2 slot)
When the M.2_2 Socket 3 is operating in PCIEX4 mode, SATA port 5, 6 will be disabled (Bottom M.2) slot
When socket M.2_1 is occupied with a sata device, you'll loose sata 1. Which is not the case for you
When socket M.2_2 is operating in PCIEX4 (aka the maximum you can set and that 970 Pro can use), you will LOSE SATA ports 5 & 6 (the 2 ports above each other closest to the bottom of the board) . If you set it to PCIEX2, you should not lose the sata ports, but the 970 will only operate at half its maximum speed. Most likely this is because the bottom socket shares bandwith lanes with those 2 sata ports.
Dual M.2 Socket 3 Type M
・ 1 x 2242~2280 (PCIe 3.0 x4 + SATA)
・ 1 x 2242~2280 (PCIe 3.0 x4)
