SSD Not showing up in bios but is visible inside windows

Hi there.
I have an Asus R416S laptop on which there is zero information on the internet.
It was working super slow, so I decided to format the SSD (https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/windows-cannot-be-installed-to-this-disk.html#error-4) and have a clean Windows 10 installation.
After formatting the SSD, wh.en selecting the hard drive, windows shows an error: (https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmanager/windows-cannot-be-installed-to-this-disk.html#error-4)
Alright. I go into BIOS but under BOOT, the SSD doesn't show up. I can only see my bootable Windows USB which is set to Boot Priority #1.
If the SSD is disabled, I can't enable the drive because the bios is SO bare bones that I can't Change SATA Controller Mode as there is no option like that in the BIOS. Resetting the BIOS to default of optimised settings also didn't make the SSD appear.
I created a portable windows installation on an USB and booting windows through the USB, I can see the SSD in Windows. I can copy to it and open whatever I have copied on it.
I thought it might be a firmware problem.. Downloaded new and old SanDisk SSD tools and the SSD Dashboard but those didn't recognize the SSD.
At this point I am stumped. Does anyone have any ideas what could I do?
