So my motherboard states it supports: "M.2 Slot: 1 x 2280 Key M(PCIe Gen3 x4/SATA)".
My NVMe specs state: "PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.3"
Can someone please let me know if these are compatible or not?
 
NVME SSDs do not appear within the BIOS until Windows 10 creates the system partition with the EFI Boot Sector. Your M.2 SSD contains UEFI driver information within the firmware. By disabling the CSM module Windows 10 will read and utilize the M.2-specific UEFI driver.

Its not only not appearing in the bios, its not appearing anywhere in disk management, for no I don't need to boot off it but just get it recognised as a drive
