Either way N1c1 is a Siberian DNA and its common among the North Russians, Karelians and Finns (including many Siberians). The Balts could have easily absorbed N1c1 long after the Germans conquered by the Lithuanians/Latvians. If we are talking about 6-9th centuries then the Balts had little or no contact with Siberians.
You are not up-to-date with Ancient DNA finds.
There are aDNA samples of N from Eastern Europe from the Iron Age, the Bronze Age, and even from Neolithic sites.
Most of these findings are from the Belarusian-Russian borderland, where Balts lived in the past.
There is also a sample of N from Iron Age Hungary.
long after the Germans conquered by the Lithuanians/Latvians.
The Germans never conquered Lithuanians.
It was the other way around, Poland-Lithuania defeated the Teutonic Order in the 15th century.
The Teutonic Order had conquered Prussians - which was another Baltic ethnic group, not Lithuanians.
