Not quite sure about the question.
You have nvme drive and motherboard supporting it.
How else would you use them?

Obviously, you have to install nvme drive into motherboard.

It has the slot so use it.

Will the NVMe drive work at its optimum data transfer rate while using the ryzen 5600G on the said mobo or am I compromising its performance by opting for this combination of processor / mobo ?

That is low performance WD green nvme drive. It will work at full performance (for what it can do).

I would have chosen a better nvme drive instead - like Samsung 970 evo plus.
