contents The first observation of $\mathcal{B}\left(B^+\rightarrow K^+νν\right)$ by the Belle II experiment lies almost $3σ$ away from the Standard Model expectation. In this letter we study this result in the SMEFT, extended by a light right-handed neutrino. We explore the correlations between the measured decay rate and other observables, such as $\mathcal{B}\left(B\rightarrow K^*νν\right)$ and $F_L\left(B\rightarrow K^*νν\right)$, showing that they could disentangle among scenarios involving left-handed neutrinos and those with the right-handed ones. Furthermore, we find that the high-$p_T$ tails of Drell-Yan processes studied at LHC provide important constraints that help us exclude some of the scenarios consistent with the Belle II result.
