I just purchased a Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 9, and a Sabrent 4TB Rocket 4 PLUS (SB-RKT4P-4TB). Though both of these are NVME Gen 4, to my chagrin, the NVME drive purchased does not fit into the Thinkpad. It's too thick.
Are there any NVME drives above 2TB that are one-sided? Is there any mechanism in which I can shop this without purchasing them all and opening them up?

The maximum component height is defined in the type number by two characters after the first hyphen:
Source: PCI Express M.2 Specification Rev 1.0 p.23
While this doesn't directly answer your question, this information should make it easy for you to find a drive with the correct specification.
