5 sata devices; only 4 detected

I am upgrading a PC to have more storage. This is a custom build with an ASUS Sabertooth Z170 S motherboard, and a Vantec SATA expansion card. I now have 4 storage devices; 1 M.2 drive, 2 SSHD's, and 1 SSD. My 5th device is a LG BluRay WH16NS40 drive.

 

I cannot seem to get all of these devices to appear at once, not bios or file explorer. I've also checked to see if one of the drives needed to be formatted for use, but it isn't appearing in Disk Management either. If I unplug a single drive, whichever one wasn't detected will be seen.

 

How do I go about setting up the ability to use all these devices?

Ofthen using the m.2 will disable one of the sata ports.

Right, it disables SATA 1. I don't have anything plugged into that port.
