Userbenchmark showed it performing way below expectations at 9th percentile. I doublechecked and confirmed this with crystaldiskmark 1785 MB/s read and 1680 MB/s write. In researching this found some people say that their m2 was running at X2 instead of X4, but cant find anything in BIOS to change that. Im running an Asus 470 Pro.
UPDATE: I specifically told my coworked who built it to put it in the 1st slot which has a heatsink so i couldnt imagine it wouldnt be there, until i took the time to look last night. You were right, thanks. Im afraid to strip the screw and move it myself like i have read multiple people have done because Asus has started using Blue Loctite on their HDD screws, which make it really tough to remove which means dragging the tower to work again which stinks. Thank you for your help.
MOD EDITED: Re ordered comments so thread makes sense for others with same issue.
