Abstract: In this paper, we introduce some type vector fields with respect to a semi-symmetric non-metric (SSNM) connection. We investigate several geometric properties of a K-contact manifold equipped with an SSNM connection and provide a concrete example to justify the relation between the scalar curvature of the SSNM connection and Levi-Civita connection that we have obtained in this paper. Furthermore, we have found the nature of Riemann solitons, conformal Ricci solitons and conformal $\eta$-Ricci-Yamabe solitons on K-contact manifolds admitting a SSNM connection.\\ Finally, we determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for such a manifold to be $\Tilde{\tau}$-semi-symmetric, quasi-conformal-semi-symmetric and pseudo-projective-semi-symmetric.
