ROG Z370-E Gaming Strix - PC can't recognize more than one SATA SSD

I've been fiddling around with the BIOS, I've tried the default settings, I've tried updating the firmware to the most recent(as far as I know) Intel ME and BIOS, but I can only manage to get one SATA SSD to work. If I try plugging in two SSDs, the BIOS just tells me none are plugged in and boots straight to BIOS.

I have no clue if this is a driver failure(or some drivers are missing), a BIOS failure(I doubt it since I installed the most recent one on the ASUS support page) or if my motherboard was faulty from the get-go. I know for certain it wasn't the SSDs, as the computer repair shop I took it into said there were absolutely no errors for either of them.

I'm guessing it might be a faulty motherboard since the boot light is flashing yellow when I try with two of them. Does anyone have any insight or answers to what this could be? I'm likely going to get a new motherboard if there's nothing I can do to correct this.

My specs(main components):

Intel Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory(Tried it with both A1/B1 and A2/B2. Neither corrected the issue.)

Samsung 870 Evo 4 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive x 2

Gigabyte MINI ITX GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB Video Card

Corsair RM1000x (2021) 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
