Are SSD Heatsinks mandatory?

Build Help

I’m considering a ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus Motherboard but I noticed there is not a heat sink included on the M.2 NVME slot. Will the lack of a heat sink affect the performance/functionality of my SSD. I have a Kingston NV3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD if that matters as well.
