Yes. It's just a standard m.2 NVME slot that will accept any 2280 length drive.
Just keep in mind that laptop only supports PCIe 3.0 and the 990 Pro is a PCIe 4.0 drive, so you'll only see about half of the read/write speeds. You could potentially save money with a 2TB PCIe 3.0 drive.

Don't forget to update the firmware on that drive to avoid issues with degradation.
