If you need more storage or want ZFS and full OS freedom, the DS920 Plus unfortunately is not the right platform to modify. Your only real options are to move to a system designed for expansion such as TrueNAS Mini, a QNAP with PCIe slots, or a DIY build that exposes full PCIe lanes for HBA cards.
If you need a NAS that lets you add drives properly or even run TrueNAS later, something like the QNAP TS 464 or TS h674 is a much better foundation because both expose standard hardware that accepts HBAs and NVMe adapters.
Here are the Amazon links for the models mentioned:
