Is it possible to install a second HDD on an hp 15-bw522ur laptop?

Greetings.
The other day I changed the 15-bw522ur HDD to SSD on my laptop. I looked at various sites for information that supposedly you can put a second HDD instead of a DVD drive and that for this purpose you can put the so-called. optibay, they are a sled for hdd.
the nuance is that there is no dvd drive on my laptop, there is not even a plug. although when I was disassembling the laptop to replace the HDD with an SSD, I noticed an empty space at the intended drive mounting location. those. it turns out that the manufacturer intended it this way, but apparently they decided not to install a drive on my model. I would like to know your opinion, is it possible to install optibay in my situation, or is it basically impossible? Maybe someone has come across such a situation, I would like to know your opinion on how the second HDD was installed and how it works.
upd: the internal contents of the laptop are approximately the same as in the video , in place of the dvd drive there is just an iron plate, and next to it there are connectors, it is possible that under the dvd drive

Moreover, if you look closely, you will even see traces of where exactly there should be a slot for inserting a DVD drive (in your case, a sled). Because it is expensive and impractical to completely change the molds, because it is easier to insert a plug and rivet, both with and without dividers. Or maybe this model has a brother with a built-in second disk right there ...
You don’t need a video, take a couple of screenshots and attach it, and watching a video, even a minute, for the sake of two frames is idiocy!

Our place for the optibay is there and the disk connector can be soldered
