Precision T5820 adding SSD hard drive

Hi Community!

I would like to add an SSD to my Precision T5820 to improve the performance of this machine. I would like to boot off this drive.

Dell have been pretty useless so far at advising and supplying the parts, this saga has lasted most of the year I know looking at this forum that others have experienced the same!

I have tried to take this into my own hands and have bought;

- DELL M.2 Flex Bay Module Complete with M.2 module  (www.ebay.co.uk/i/224015692598)

- ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB M.2 Gaming Solid State Drive (SSD), black (www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07K1J3C23/ref=pe_3187911_185740111_TE_item)

When installed the hard drive is not recognised anywhere. Am I missing a part to make this work successfully? Any ideas on possible solutions?

Thanks in advance for your help
