The "Blue" pins are the control lines into the stepper driver, ie step direction enable and gnd.

You cannot directly plug a second stepper motor in there.

Are you using both E0 and E1? if not you can just plug the second Z into E1 and update your firmware

see Configuration_adv.h

// A single Z stepper driver is usually used to drive 2 stepper motors.
// Uncomment this option to use a separate stepper driver for each Z axis motor.
// The next unused E driver will be assigned to the second Z stepper.
//#define Z_DUAL_STEPPER_DRIVERS
