Question Sata port issues?

[Sethirium]

I've bought a new Samsung evo 870 SSD but now it seems I only have 2 sata ports working, the ssd and cable is not the issue, I swapped the cable on the same port and it get recognized, any other slot doesn't appear to work..

I have an asus prime Z370-A

Would swapping slot cause any issues? My OS is installed on it

My nvme is in the m.2_1 socket 3 slot

I can move it to m.2_2 socket 3

Picture of my motherboard


My manual states
M.2_1 socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA mode M Key design and type 2242 /
2260 / 2280 PCIe and SATA storage devices.
• M.2_2 socket supports PCIe 3.0 x4 M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 PCIe
storage devices.
• These sockets support IRST (Intel® Rapid Storage Technology).
