Thx I will try

But whene its wrote sata more are the m.2 sata ssd

And not the nvme m.2
As I understand it, I think he means your 2nd M2 slot is using SATA lanes rather than PCI-E which in theory would mean you free up the lanes required to run your graphics card at x16, doing so will disable one of your SATA banks. I still think it may be a Bios config issue as there are plenty of PCI-E lanes available between the CPU and chipset.

Hi,
Since that is listed on top I believe it's m.2_1 slot that is sata compatible not m.2_2 slot but since it's not specified try both and look in bios storage drop down options for sata mode listing for either of those slots when using them.

Friend suggested that once to me I had no option to do so but that was on x299 where pci-e or cpu lanes is not a problem
But that to was on nvme m.2 so samsung 970 evo plus think he was on 960 evo.
