Question Compatible sata expansion card for Asus PRIME B650-PLUS ATX AM5 Motherboard

I have been using a BEYIMEI PCIe 1X SATA Card 10 Ports, 6 Gbps PCI Express 3.0 to SATA 3.0 Controller Expansion Card on my old motherboard, but when I switched to my new Asus, I found that it is too old for the new board, as a review on amazon had the same problem with a different newer motherboard.

What should I be looking for that is compatible with my new board? The manual for my board says it's a PCIe 4.0 x1, and I thought 4.0 was compatible with 3.0 cards, but apparently not? Is there a PCIe card I can use, or should I just get an M.2 sata expansion card?
 
found someone with an equal problem. The ASM1166 is not compatible to the 600 series of the Intel chipsets in general, but the card itself can be updated to be compatible.

Eventually this can help: it´s not relevant, that this is a different card, but it has the same chip like yours:

edit:
you will need a different pc to update it eventually:

my CPU is AMD, not Intel. also, I do not have access to a different pc.
 
sorry, didn´t read the topic fully

which problem exactly do you have with it? is it not recognized at all in the device manager of windows?
the motherboard is not detecting it at all due to some sort of incompatibility. I've read that this card is not compatible with the newest motherboards that support DDR5 and the AM5 socket. the slot is PCIe 4.0 x1, the card is PCIe 3.0 x1
