Gigabyte MZ32-AR0 u.2 issues

[kf0cqx]

I installed an MZ32-AR0 into my Epyc homelab system yesterday and I am having an issue. I have 2x U.2 SSDs both confirmed to be good on other systems, but for the life of me I cannot get the system to recognize one of the drives. I am utilizing the u.2 slots that aren't tied in with PCIE slot "#7" so that shouldn't be an issue, but I'm not quite sure what the issue could be. I have swapped cables around, reformatted the drive multiple times and can't get the system to recognize it, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Questions:

1. Brand and models of all Nvme drives
2. Brand and models of all PCIe adapters
3. If a dual-adapter is used, is bifurcation set for the respective PCIe slot? Which slots did you try?
4. Are power issues ruled out?

Are you connecting via Slim connectors maybe?
