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.

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.
