Enable 5Ghz and 6Ghz only on F431G FortiAp

Question

Hello,I have a requirement, only 5Ghz and 6Ghz  need to be available for an office.Actually, only 5Ghz is available for users and it works well.I checked this link https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.0/new-features/169732 but I need more explications.I created a 6Ghz SSID, select WPA3 SAE et activate H2E.Then for the Operation profile, I'm not sure according to my requirements. I understand, all the bands needs to be ON for the wifi6E, but I don't want 2.4Ghz, so I created a profile where Radio 1 is disabled, and link it to the new 6Ghz SSID. I can't made a real test until next month. Another question, if on the 6Ghz SSID, I keep active the 2.4Ghz, it's only for 6Ghz use or a user can connect to this frequence ?I want to know if the configuration is correct or if you have some tips. Thank you

The 2.4 GHz radio can be configured to support 802.11ax protocol only and work with WiFi 6 standard.

The 3rd radio, if not configured as Dual 5G, will operate only in the 6GHz channels. Even though the channels share same numbers the frequency range will not overlap, it will start from 'UNII-5' - 5925 MHz.
