Welcome to the community, @gath_122!
I'd strongly recommend you check your connections inside the PC rig and make sure that there are no loose cables connected to the SSD. Is it the only drive inside your rig or do you have a secondary HDD? I'd also suggest you check how and if the drive is properly listed in the BIOS as a connected SATA device. Posting some screenshots from Disk Management would be really helpful as well (e.g. via Imgur). I'd also advise you to swap the SATA cable and the SATA port on the motherboard where the SSD is connected. While in the BIOS interface, also check if the SATA mode is properly configured to AHCI.
Keep me posted with the troubleshooting & good luck!
Merry Christmas!
