Question I got a Crucial M.2 drive and it wont show up in windows, bios, or disk management

[KillWhitney]

I have an asus ROG STRIX x470-F
windows 10
the drive is a Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 500GB SSD
I have a Zotac Gaming Geforce rtx 2060 Dual-Fan 6GB GDDR6 PCIe Video Card (which is in PCIEx16_2 slot)

I had a wireless adapeter in PCIEX1_1, but I moved it to 1_2, because the manual for the MOBO says that occupying 1_1 and 1_3 cause the M.2 slot to be sata only, and when that didnt work I removed it completely, and the M.2 drive still didnt show. I am using the most current bios version (version 5007), i dont know what else to do. please help (if Im missing any important info please feel free to ask)

full system spec?

The drive not showing up is Crucial P1 NVMe M.2 500GB SSD

the GPU is in the second slot because I have Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Universal CPU Cooler to cool the CPU and the 1st of the three slots is right up against it.

it is on the bottom m.2 slot because the top one is block by the cooler?

No, the m.2 drive is on the top m.2 slot. The GPU is on the second pcie slot because The first pcie slot it's self isnt blocked, but there isn't much room between the slot and the heatsink.

might be a bad m.2 ssd or motherboard.
the slot use the pcie lane from the 1700x.
