"The U.2 connector shares bandwidth with the M.2_1 socket, Adjust the BIOS settings to use U.2 devices."
"The PCIE_X8/x4_4 slot shares bandwidth with U.2. In 4-Way configuration, if the PCIE_X8/x4_4 is used in x8 mode, U.2 port will be disabled."

So from those I figure the the last PCIe slot needs to be set to x4 mode for the m.2 slot under the heat blanket to work, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned. Oh and threadripper support PCIe 3.0 x4 for m.2 devices.
