This is how i converted a Toshiba MQ01UBB200 USB board to sata. I located the sata points on the backside of the board but they appear after the pull-ups unlike WD which are before. Therefor i could not use the back side. I had to use monolithic wire to solder to the points on the bottom side and then wrap them around. I used usb for power/ground.

Pull-ups? Do you mean capacitors?

Good work!

But How you identify the TX , RX?

I would say you identify RX, TX by their characteristic 2-paired length-matched differential routing on the mainboard. When you see 2 pairs of LVDS lines on a HDD/SSD PCB, then it's most likely SATA RX/TX. I would suggest you take a look at some of the YouTube videos on differential routing, then you will learn to identify them.

Why not just find a compatible SATA board and move ROM?

Assuming this is the USB PCB ...

... then here is a SATA PCB which uses the same MCU (88i9317-RA12):

Just follow the SATA Tx/Rx signal pairs from the MCU to the SATA connector ...
