You're seeing that the motherboard is using some of its SATA ports for the M.2 slot, which means those ports are busy. That could block the WD Blue drive from getting enough space. But since you have two SATA 6 ports, it should still work if you install both drives in different slots. Just check the manual or the manufacturer's site to confirm the exact setup. Easy peep! 😊
Indicates that using the Samsung SSD from six SATA ports will disable two ports. This leaves you with four slots, one designated for your WD Blue HDD. That means you retain three additional ports for other devices such as more SSDs, HDDs, or optical drives. TL;DR: You can install the WD Blue HDD and Samsung SSD while keeping space for three more SATA connections.

This purchase was a poor choice; the 970 EVO offers little value for its price. Still, you should be able to install it without any issues.
This choice was really poor. The motherboard won’t handle the CPU well, there’s no overclocking option, and the 970 EVO isn’t worth the price. Still, you can install the drive without any issues.
The documentation for your motherboard indicates the recommended options. However, as @Brok3n pointed out, this B450 model might not suit the 3900X unless you plan to use that CPU. Opting for an ASUS X570-P or Aorus X570 Elite would be more suitable.
