Issue with 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 BCM57414 OCP3 Adapter

Hello

I'm new to proxmox and I'm installing Proxmox (proxmox-ve: 8.3.0 (running kernel: 6.8.12-4-pve)) on a HP DL360 Gen11 with 10/25Gb 2-port SFP28 BCM57414 OCP3 Adapter
To my understanding I can use both ports on the adapter at 25 Gbs but when I check with ethtool I get this result
root@bbnl-pm01:~# ethtool ens14f0np0

So it looks like the second port only supports 1 and 10 Gbps but I can't find any conformation for it.
I want to connect the second port to a 25 GBs port on our Unify Aggregation switch. The first port is connected to a 10 Gbs port on that switch but will move to a 25 GBs port also.
For now I could do some reconfiguration and switch the cables on the ports, but I like to know if it is possible to use both ports on 25 Gbs

Any help is appreciated.
