I have an old SSD drive I want to recover data from and maybe use as a portable drive going forward...

Specifically I want to use this old 12 + 16 pin from an old MacBook Air (A1465), with a 12 + 16 to NVMe M key adapter.

Then I want to put those inside a NVMe M key to USB enclosure.

But the fourth image you scroll to of the adapter says that it cannot work in a USB enclosure, only plugged directly into the motherboard. Then in one of the user questions they seem to say the opposite with no explanation. That so long as it is 12 + 16 on one end and M key on the other it will work.

So... will it work? If not, is this universally true or can I get a different adapter?
