Welcome to the community, lopeskering!
I'd recommend you to go to Disk Management and check how and if the SSD is detected there.
It's possible that the enclosure is configured differently, so you might be required to re-format the drive if you plan to use it externally. However, this would erase all the data on the SSD, so make sure you have a backup of it stored somewhere else beforehand.
If you have data on it, I'd suggest you try to access it internally via SATA connection, rather than through the USB enclosure.
Hope this helps you. Keep us posted with the troubleshooting!

Too many questions here:
1) Are you trying to boot from USB into Windows? If so, stop, it won't work.
2) Are you using a passive (USB plug only) enclosure for a gaming SSD? If so, you need a new enclosure with external power.
3) Is your disk actually working anywhere? If it doesn't work in another computer it might just be broken.
