Only 1 out of 2 wifi antennas seems to be working

   Hi!

My motherboard: Asrock Z370M-ITX/ac
Driver: intel dual band wireless-AC 3168, version 19.51.13.2 (2018-04-29)

I have two wi-fi antenna connections on my motherboard. Lets call then connection A and B. A is located closer to the mobo and B further away. Only connection A seems to be working. 

I would like my wi-fi to work better that it does at the moment, and I suspect if both antennas worked connection would be better. I need your help!

Here are some examples of different set ups I have experimented with:

1) Antenna connected to A only: 		wifi works
2) Antennas connected to both A and B: 	wifi works
3) Antenna connected to B only: 		no wi-fi:s can be found
4) Antennas connected to both A and B, but antenna A covered in aluminium foil: 	barely works-extremely weak signal.

I have tried all possible combinations of antennas / antenna connections.
The same test has been made on another Z370M-ITX/ac motherboard with the same results.

Does anybody know why B doesn't seem to work/be active?

cheers
Gustav
