Can't change boot mode in new motherboard?

Recently I rebuilt my system to swap my motherboard and upgrade my CPU. (MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI and I7-12700K)

 

The system POSTs fine, I have good thermals, and everything is detected, but no matter what I do, my original boot drive (XPG SX8200 M.2) will NOT show up as an option in the boot order.

 

I've noticed my boot mode is greyed out, and locked into UEFI. I think that's the issue, but no matter what I try I absolutely cannot get it to change. I even turned off secure boot, but that didn't unlock the option...

 

I'd really prefer to just be able to boot into my M.2, is there a way through this?

 

(I know in theory I could just make another UEFI-friendly Windows install on a different drive, but I have data on all of my drives :/)
