[SOLVED] Bandwidth limitations m.2/SATA B550-F Gaming (WiFi)

[5leadgaming]

I have just purchased a 2nd m.2 SSD for my system, I already had a 1tb m.2 for my OS and other things along with a 10tb SATA HDD. Didn't think much about limitations on bandwidth, I've tried a few combinations of things to make all 3 devices connect properly with no luck, I'm not too knowledgable about this specific thing but in the diagram from the manual it seems I can plug my HDD into any of the sata ports from 1 - 4 as it says while m.2 slot 2 is populated SATA ports 5/6 are disabled, which aren't in use, but still with hdd in SATA 1, I either get just my main m.2 ssd with my hdd or I just get my main ssd. I removed my hdd and both SSD's showed up, could someone please tell me what I could do, I am aware I can get a better motherboard like an x570 and that seems to not have the limitations but I'd rather keep what I have to avoid spending more money on this.

Processor used for your platform? Can you check and see what BIOS version you're on for your motherboard at the time of writing? Can you please state the makes and model of your storage devices?

I have a ryzen 7 5800x , ROG B550-F Gaming(wifi)
My 10tb hdd model is WDC WD101FZBX
And i have a 1tb m.2 ssd WD_BLACK SN850 (WDS100T1X0E-00AFY0)
my new 2tb m.2 ssd for storing things is also WD_BLACK SN850 (WDS200T1X0E-00AFY0)
And I am on the latest motherboard version (Version 2604 )

Edit: Also I am running an Palit RTX 2080Ti

could someone please tell me what I could do

Connect your HDD to a different sata port.
Ports SATA6G_5/6 can not be used with M2_2 populated.
If you try at least 3 different sata ports, one of them surely will work.
Make sure all sata ports are enabled in BIOS.

Latest chipset drivers also ?

Yes, I have latest drivers, made sure all was up to date, this is quite weird now, I have my two m.2 ssds both in and detecting without my hard drive, when I boot with my HDD connected also the 2nd SSD does not show up, I have tried sata port 1 so far, the sata ports can't be dead / broken as when the ssd is disconnected the HDD shows up fine.
So basically, if I have both SSD connected and HDD , the 2nd SSD does not show up. If I have just main SSD and HDD, they both show up, and same with if I have only both ssds. (This is using SATA port 1) I am currently not home and will try again when I am. Thank you guys for advice, if you have anything else I can try please let me know much appreciated

So, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I have been through all all 4 of the available sata ports when both m.2 slots are populated, cannot get all 3 connected devices to show up all in once instance, in neither bios nor windows itself, it's either or when it comes to if I have my HDD (SATA) connected.
If my hdd is connected as well as both m.2 drives, just my main m.2 in slot one and the hdd show up in bios/windows, if its just both m.2, they both show up. I have repeated this with every slot and all yields the same result. I have since ordered a ASUS ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING , I do not see any bandwidth limitations on that board so I am hoping it works.
