You're experiencing a problem where your M.2 SSDs aren't appearing in the BIOS boot menu. This could be due to incorrect BIOS settings, missing drivers, or hardware configuration issues. Double-check your motherboard's M.2 slot compatibility and ensure all necessary drivers are installed for your SSD model.

If the m.2 doesn't show up it's because it has no bootable partition on it. You can check if the device is detected in the device list of the BIOS. Then you need to install an operating system on it (Windows, Linux, etc.).

Start by ensuring the drives are recognized. Your M.2 slots might be using PCIe lanes with another device such as a PCIe card or SATA ports. Refer to your motherboard's documentation to identify which component is causing the conflict. Another method is to remove all unnecessary parts and test the SSDs individually, one at a time, to confirm detection. If none appear, insert the SSDs into a known working system and observe the results. If still no success, try installing them on a different machine to determine if they are faulty. Have a great day!

It's a M.2 SSD with SATA or NVMe interface, but I can't confirm the exact model without more details. You've already checked which slots you've used before.
