What motherboard do you have? What M.2 SSD do you have? Which M.2 slot are you using (if there are multiple on the board)? What SATA port are you using for the HDD?
Often times certain SATA ports get turned off when you are using an M.2 SSD.

SATA 5 and 6 will be turned off, but SATA 3 and 4 are still accesible (those are the SATA ports below the 5/6 ones, so also pointed to the side).

SATA 4 and 3 also point to the side, but are still turned on. You can use those if you want the cable management neater as you mentioned.
