The issue you are having is due the fact that 4K sector hard-disk drives are not supported on controllers (including Software RAID controllers) prior to Perc 9 (13th gen) hardware controllers. If the 4K sector drive is connected to a hardware controller prior to the Perc 9, the 4K sector hard-disk drive is displayed as Unsupported. So with the server being a 12th generation it wouldn't be able to support the 4k sector hard drives you have.

Let me know if this helps.
