Hello I've installed my second gtx 970 and connected both with my sli bridge but the controll panel says that there is no sli bridge ? How can that be ?

The bottom slot ^ is 4x only and Nvidia does not allow those slots to be used in an SLi configuration. 

 

Make sure that all monitors are plugged in to the top most GPU.

It should be just fine.
 
Reboot and then open up the Nvidia control panel again. See if the option shows up again.
