Two out of four HDDs aren't appearing in my BIOS or operating system.

Build: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K 3.9 GHz 20-Core Chipset Noctua NH-L9x65 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler Asus Z890 AYW GAMING WIFI W ATX LGA1851 Motherboard G.Skill Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory PNY OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB Video Card Montech KING 95 PRO ATX Mid Tower Case MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Running Ubuntu 24.04 only the drives connected by sata power extension cables work. the drives themselves are confirmed to be working by a tech at a Microcenter. Things I've tried: - verifying SATA ports are active - confirming power and data cables are properly plugged in - bringing it to a repair shop (they couldn't diagnose) they mentioned an older build where all four drives appeared, changes occurred after switching cases and adding GPU and new power supply. Currently I'm reinstalling the OS
I purchased the power supply from MicroCenter and paid them to fabricate it for me, ensuring it didn’t fail again. If I had done it differently, they wouldn’t have handled it that way. The previous power supply had all its cables already connected to it, so I’m confident they used the correct ones.
These drives are nearly guaranteed to show PWDIS. You can locate alternatives by looking up PWDIS on forums and YouTube.
It seems the system recognizes PWDIS, but the issue lies in the differing drive behaviors. The other drives are working while the remaining ones aren't, even though they're identical models.
