i have moved your post to laptop compatibility

you haven't updates your hardware profile to reflect your hp laptop but there is some info here regarding whitelist:
 
it says “For laptops with NGFF/M.2 WiFi slot: BCM94352Z or BCM94350ZAE (? not tested/not recommended) or BCM943602BAED (works but may require additional antenna leads to be installed)”

I chose the m.2 slot so it s still not working.
