I don't know if I did manage to figure this out or not but I'll share what I have found and hopefully it will be useful for someone else someday (please note that I have absolutely very lite understanding of what I'm actually doing so this is not a guide by any means)
This was confusing cause the Device ID's* was not fixed (don't ask me why) so when I had two Ethernet cables running from my switch to each port (one is the Pi5 stock one and the other being this NIC I'm trying to set up correctly) .. The MAC-address's per device was unique but not the actual Device ID's*
*lack of a correct/better term
So navigate into the NetworkManager TUI then → Edit a connection → Add → Ethernet → Createand now, set it up like thisnext, from the main menu of NetworkManager go to→ Activate a connection → and Activate, like thisand for the last step I did Deactivate the Wired connection and additionally I went back to Edit and unchecked the "Automatically connect" for the stock Ethernet port which in my case is called "Wired connection 1".
The last above additional or optional steps, if you like me want to make sure you are not running both ports (obviously you could "just" disconnect the cord from the stock Ethernet port..) but I chose to not to do it like that cause I want to make sure I'm using only this new NIC and only one Ethernet cable between it and my switch.
I would appreciate if someone who actually know what he is talking about would step in here, fill in the blanks and most importantly correct me!
Ps, now that I'm reading the result of the commands in code below, I really don't think I got this right, there is some "..unknow!" here and there that I cant figure out.
These are some useful links for understanding some commands and navigating (for me some of them where helpful)
