You would have been better off just installing a regular 2.5" SATA SSD as you will get no additional performance or benefit with the M.2 drive adapter. As for why the drive isn't being recognized, there maybe a potential conflict between the SATA controller and the M.2 adapter, or the M.2 SSD that you're trying to use doesn't support the SATA interface and only supports the NVMe/PCIe interface.
You can buy an inexpensive USB-to-SATA adapter that you can use to temporary connect a second drive externally if you want to clone a drive to another one. This one will work with any 2.5" HDD or SDD.
