(SOLVED) Unable to detect PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD - Acer Aspire 5

Hey,
After installing Arch I cannot see the PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD drive.

The drive is visible in BIOS screen (KINGSTONE RBUSNS8154P3512GJ1) but not visible in boot menu nor when I boot into Arch.

I've scoured forums and some of the wikis and found nothing.

Any suggestions on how I could proceed?

It's not clear. Did you install Arch on the NVME (which begs the question how are you booting Arch)?
Or is this an extra drive/partition of your Arch installation?

Is the drive configured to use AHCI or RAID mode in firmware?  Please post the output of the following:

lspci -nn
dmesg

Sorry for the late answer. But I have solved it.
Basically I had chosen the wrong file in the bios and for some reason the second disk (the nvme) wasn't being recognized.
Tkx anyway!
