Hey! I have the same laptop and I also would like to see this project supporting it someday even ideally gets merged into upstream kernel. I didn't have the time to test and help the development unfortunately...
But until then there is this project called ExtremeCooling4Linux which is a python app that lets you enable and disable extreme cooling mode on our laptop model Y520. Just like the Nerve Center does. You need to disable Secure Boot though. It also has a system tray applet which you need to install separately.
I had helped the maintainer to test things on different bios versions a long time ago and it should probably work for you. It hasn't got updates for a while but it still works for me on Fedora 39.
PS: On Fedora I needed to install portio one of the python modules that project requires through pip as a system module with sudo because that module is not in the Fedora repos.

@ulville it is working, you just made my day :D thank you
@ehmad11 you're welcome :)
Also a note for the maintainers of LLL. That project I suggested ( ExtremeCooling4Linux ) probably includes most of the info needed to implement the same functionality within this project. And doing it with a kernel module would be a much better solution then a hacky python solution with unmaintained, potentially unsecure dependencies like portio
