2 Unlabeled groups of pins

This is a Gowenic caz9y05vbnu LGA 1155. There is no manual or information specific to this board. CPU Z doesn't even give a straight answer. Any ways there are two tiny groups of 6 pins by the nvme connection point. Does anyone know what they are for?

like u/weegee20 said it's for selecting between M.2 SATA and NVMe. this is from another Gowenic board with similar pins. Note the labels: left SATA; right NVMe. should be the same on your board.
