Did you try cloning or installing your OS onto your SSD?
If you tried to clean install - did you follow these instructions: https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how-to-do-a-clean-installation-of-windows-10.3170366/

Right now I am just trying to have it as secondary storage for my games but I can't boot my PC with it plugged in for some reason

Only explanation would be, your pc is trying to boot from SSD instead and there's some old corrupted windows installation on it.

Check boot priorities in BIOS after connecting SSD.
