Nope. Unless you want to solder it on with tones of wires and stuff... But even if you would be able to do so, it's very bad idea, as computer processors operate on a few Ghz, and so adding any sort of soldered wires onto the motherboard will alter clocking, as on such frequencies even a few centimeters is larger than wave length. However most modern motherboards have either a tpm or a lot for an external one. First of all if your pc can't find tpm, doesn't mean you don't have one... It might just be disabled. Secondarily, are you sure you don't have a tpm slot? As there are many different types of such slots with different number of pins. But it very much depends on why you need tpm. As Windows 11 needs tpm module, i would assume that's why you need one. But it is possible to use windows 11 without tpm: https://www.google.com/amp/s/winbuzzer.com/2021/08/09/how-to-install-windows-11-without-tpm-2-xcxwbt/%3famp But if you actually want tpm module for other reasons, we'll buy new motherboard...
