i think you are able to set the order in which it checks for bootable drives. try dragging the usb to the front.

This method is used for my msi mobo so i dont know how asus works really, but it should be the same concept

What is the format of the install media? Usually you need to make a bootable UEFI USB drive. If that doesn't work, disable secure boot. The hard drives aren't bootable because they do not have a OS on them yet (Or if it does, it was probably installed as non UEFI on the old drive)

Check every single cable to make sure everything is connected and use pcpartspicker to check for compatibility issues
