Here is a link from Noctua as to which coolers are compatible with your motherboard:
https://ncc.noctua.at/motherboards/model/Gigabyte-B660M-AORUS-PRO-5496
There is no issue with pcie slot location for your motherboard.

Here is the suitability chart for the 12700 processor:

The NH-D15s is a high compatibility version of the NH-D15.
It will clear 64mm tall ram vs. 32mm for the NH-D15.

If your graphics card has an unusually large backplate, the NH-D15s is offset to clear it.
First things first - just because you have an mATX mobo doesn't mean you can't fit a 140mm air cooler.

What case do you have?
What is your full motherboard model #
Does your graphics card have a backplate or can you see the the PCB from the processor side? (most GPUs these days have a backplate)
Where are you shopping?
What is your budget in local currency?
