Don't worry, the latest chips were just built to only handle CAMM2, a new removable RAM standard that replaced SODIMM
It's a bit confusing though because both soldered and CAMM2 are listed as LPDDR5 on spec sheets, from what I've looked at it appears if there's an x at the end of the LPDDR5 it should be CAMM2
It's also brand BRAND new, so I'm sure quite a few manufacturers rushed out the door with the new chips just soldering on the RAM because they couldn't get CAMM2 in it in time for whatever reason
