HELP! Installing 4TB KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD internally to an Asus Laptop E210MA

This has been causing me grief for far too long.

When installed in an external SSD enclosure (FIDECO) it shows up in Windows and works fine, when installed internally to the M.2 SSD slot, it doesn't show up in BIOS or Windows.

It could be a BIOS setting that I haven't found, but so far, I am stuck.

Tried multiple suggestions online but nothing working, hoping one of the tech geniuses here might have some ideas for me!

I have also tried installing 512GB Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD but it has the same issue. When enclosed in an external USB enclosure, the drive is seen in Windows, it can be seen and accessed. When installed internally to the M.2 SSD slot it is NOT recognised in BIOS or Windows. 

Please offer some suggestions as I am stumped.

Your laptop's SSD supported specifications are NGFF 2280 PCIe: 512G, 256G.
The issue you are encountering is likely due to compatibility problems. 
We recommend replacing it with another SSD or using your SSD externally. 
Sorry for any inconvenience it may be caused.
