One of the pictures says this board supports SLI, but the Spec sheet does not. Whats the answer?

The spec sheet mentions that the ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-G GAMING motherboard supports AMD 2-Way CrossFireX Technology, but there is no mention of support for NVIDIA SLI. Therefore, based on the spec sheet, this board does not support SLI.

why put both m.2 right next to each other? more heat?

The ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-G GAMING motherboard places both M.2 slots next to each other. This design decision can potentially lead to more heat accumulation in that area. It is important to manage heat effectively in such configurations to maintain optimal performance.
