It doesn't even register as a device - its fake. there is NO circuitry on it at all that would connect "chip" to IO - its fucking fake.

What are you putting this drive in, device model would be helpful? It's more likely that your device doesn't support M2 NVMe drives and you need a M2 SATA drive. Some devices like Dell XPS 9360 can support either M2 NVMe or M2 SATA while other devices like Dell Wyse 5070 only support M2 SATA drives.
