Laptop doesn't recognize Samsung 970 m.2?

[w35t]

I've needed to expand the storage in my laptop for some time so I decided to grab a 500gb Samsung 970 and install it in the laptop in my signature. When I run the Samsung nvme driver it says no device connected. I'm not seeing the drive listed in the device manager or in the bios. I know this laptop supports pcie gen 3 x4, is there some other requirement for compatibility I'm not aware of? Any suggestions?

go into Bios....go to boot options.. click on any that are highlighted..does it show up in the list ?

Also this was an Option that needed to be ordered from factory when you bought it. Was it purchased with this option ? If not you can not put NVME into that slot..has to be SATA
