How to Fix New M.2 Not Showing up in Disk Management

Hello. I have bought a new M.2 NVMe SSD for gaming recently. After I installed it into my computer correctly, it showed up in Device Manager and BIOS. However, when I try to partition the SSD, I can't find it in Disk Management. I have tried reconnecting it, but nothing has changed. What should I do to fix this? Appreciate any help!
