Can I put my asus pci-e wifi card into a pcie x 16 slot?

I got a gpu and forgot to check clearance for the slots. Could I put my asus pci e adapter (x1) into a pci-e x 16 slot. I am using the b250m pro 4 motherboard. Here are the links to both products:

If you didn't purchase the wireless adapter, then you should go for an USB driven wireless adapter and save you that PCI-E slot. I'd say not to go for that wireless card since it'll interfere with PCI-E lane allocation and the card will under perform when subjected to placement in a chassis.

No I already bought it

It comes with external antenna and also could I just plug the adapter into the other pci e slots

Yes. You can install the PCI-Ex1 wireless card in the bottom PCI-Ex16 slot without issue. While it's an x16 slot, it only wired for x4 (and your card is only x1).
