M.2 SSD configuration

Hey guys, trying to install a Samsung M.2 SM951 into a Asus Ranger VIII. However, when trying to configure it to run on PCIe3 x4 instead of SATA the options for anything involving m.2 is gone from Onboard Devices Configuration menu in the BIOS. Where the hell did it go? BIOS is completely up to date and it looks like it wants to run off of SATA but we want it switched to PCIe3 and there just sin't an option we can find in it neither on the Manual except for RAID configuration which is what we dont want. Anyone have any experience in installing the SM951 on a Ranger 8? Last resort I guess is buying an adapter but we shouldnt have to since this board should switch in between and is fully supported.

 

Thanks for reading hopefully you can answer my questions!
