Okay. Lurick was right about the m.2 drive. i cloned my os onto my spare sata ssd and removed the m.2 ssd and now the option for sli is available! 

Although now my new problem is im seeing no performance gains whatsoever. i tested witcher 3 at 4k yesterday on one 980ti and i was getting 30-45 fps with maxed out settings. with sli enabled and both cards working im getting either the same of less performance. Any ideas? 

try your cables in the top most card

Just tried that. No luck. Now its caused severe flickering in game as well

Pics of said performance. Ive been told not all games scale with sli but, I don't play every game. Could do single and sli tests with heaven or valley and ensure you aren't running into another issue. I run the precision x overlay so I can see everything. Or use what ever program you normally use and gpu-z.

Disable AA in game and use driver enabled FXAA or sweetfx to inject smaa (I use driver FXAA). Witcher 3 uses a form of temporal AA that breaks SLI.
