I have an S24 and that I'm using on a 5G+ plan.  

My mobile carrier is currently running in 5G NSA mode.

I can enter Service Mode and see that the n78 band is connected having a bandwidth of 60 MHz when the 5G+ icon shows.

I can also see the 3 carrier aggregation (CA) bands being utilized as well; mostly bands 7 @20Mhz bw, band 66 @15Mhz bw, and band 2 @ 20Mhz.  (Note -  These bands are all LTE bands)

Question -  1) Can I somehow change the 3 bands being used for CA as well as their bandwidth ?

2) Can I change the bandwidth from 60 to 100 when the n78 band is connected ?

If this can be done, please indicate the steps to do so.

You seem to be more knowledgeable than us.

We are just a consumer forum here .

Just a hypothesis.

Even if you did manage to change what you want to do I feel it will wreck havoc on your battery and so it wouldn't be wise to do it.
I'm sure there is a reason why they have those restrictions in place.

Also remember 5g is mostly used for downloads for other things the phone will turn to 4g or lower to save battery.

Most of the extra battery drain comes from the phone now being connected to an LTE cell as well as a 5G cell simultaneously, hence, the NSA naming.

I also noticed that CA only kicks in when data is actually being transferred; its not present when the phone is idle as far as I could see.

Even if there was a much increased battery drain, I would just put the settings back to what they were.

I'd. Suggest xda forums. More technical people then here.

Not to mention going any route either then official can invalidate your warranty and stuff.
