Motherboard not detecting fans Z390 Maximus Gene

So I have an Asus Maximus Gene Z390 and for some reason the motherboard won't detect the fans. They get power and they spin but I can't control them at all. Fans are Noctua NF-S12A. They were a lot louder than I expected and I even put the Low-Noise Adapters from Noctua on them. Each fan is plugged into a different 4-Pin on the motherboard. Latest BIOS. I've tried it with and without the Low-Noise Adapters. Any idea what could be going on fellas?

Have you run the Fan Tuning in the UEFI ??

Turns out there's only one PWM header on the mobo. I figured it out. I thought on a high-end board like this they all would of been PWM.
