Did you try all the SATA ports on your motherboard?

I recently bought a whole load of new parts all of them factory new except 1 hard drive and put together my PC, and I bought another hard drive and an SSD. Once I had completed my PC everything was working perfectly fine until when I got to BIOS my hard drives and SSD weren't being detected now I have looked everywhere online for something about this and everything everyones suggested just hasn't worked for me.

I've tried:
clearing CMOS
Updating my BIOS
Messing around with BIOS settings
Defaulting the UEFI settings
Trying different cables(New)
Tried it with just the SSD as it's brand new and took both the hard drives out

Yet still no result and I haven't been able to find a solution to this problem so please help me!

Specs
ASRock z270 pro
Intel Core i7-7700k
Two GTX 770's
8GB DDR4 Ram
750Watt PSU 
2TB WD Black
1TB WD Gold
500GB Samsung 860 SSD

You said you've tried new cables, but have you switched around which SATA ports you're plugging into? That can be an issue sometimes.

Yes I did attempt that also

Are the hard drives spinning up? Basically, what I'm asking is can you verify the drives are getting power?

Yes they're all receiving power

Have you tried other drives in the system(if you have any) or tried putting the drive(s) into another build?

I have 3 drives all together so the likelyhood of them all breaking at the same time seems a little unlikely and I don't have another system to put them in
