One of my SSD won't work if I connected to sata port but other SSD work just fine using the same port. Now I only can use that ssd as a external drive but speed reduced (for gaming). Is there way I can fix the issue?

I have Aorus Z390 Elite MB with two M.2 installed which uses sata 1, 4 and 5. Other 3 ssd are plugged into sata 0, 2 and 3. The one that can't be plugged into sata are now external drive. 0, 2 and 3 works fine.

Make and models of all your storage drives? What BIOS version are you on for your motherboard? What OS version are you working with? The manual, page - 15, for your motherboard would state you loosing functionality of some SATA 3 ports on the motherboard.
Bios version F9
Samsung 850 128Gb
Ocz Vertex 4 64GB/256GB
Kingspec 1TB (Chinese brand) (one work one dont only work as external drive)
Kingspec M2 1TB/512GB (both work fine over a year now)
