Hi guys, long time user, first time poster, this is actually the first time i couldn't find the answer to my problem SOMEWHERE on this site. So anyway, ill try and keep this quick as possible so its easy to follow along. Ill include links as well for quick reference.
So I have This motherboard & this device hooked up via the M.2 Slot View: https://imgur.com/a/GqK3rPj

Reason being is because I have the motherboard in a custom case and this board wasn't really meant to be taken out of its shell, it didn't have any front usb connections because the pin out on the board just says "FRONT" and there is only enough pins for my power button etc, you can see it on the picture there, its just below and slighty to the right of the red rectangle that is signifying where the device is installed via M.2. Again like I said they really didnt expect people to me taking this out, it was really only designed for perhaps minor PCIe upgrades but nothing of this nature. Therefor, some fandangling was required. I also have this adapter for the usb 2 Front I/O (but this cant work without the other)

Now heres the thing, I dont have a cd drive, so I used my other laptop that did and pulled the files off, put them on usb, and brought them over to my desktop... windows could only read one of them, but it was the exe driver so, i figured after i installed driver the device would work. Nope! so i tired a reboot, Still Nope.
And thats where im stuck guys.
Any help would be appreciated.
Heres a pic of the files on the disk if interested View: https://imgur.com/a/CyDVCPM

EDIT/UPDATE: Tried Enabling it in BIOS except I guess it not set properly because in bios NVMe device is not recognized, however after taking the PC apart and rebuilding it again I can confirm that the card is definitely secured into the slot properly and properly powered and I am still getting same issue, bios wont detect.. here is another photo for reference. Hmmmmm :benetton:

You have to enable it in BIOS, look at the Advanced tab
