Set SATA operation mode to AHCI and perform Windows installation again to see if it helps.
Which size, form factor of 3070 do you have?

Try replacing the size 2032 CMOS battery. How to Perform a BIOS or CMOS Reset and Clear the NVRAM on Dell Computers
With a bad battery, it's almost impossible to load Windows on an SSD. Bad batteries affects BIOS, which in turn affects if it finds drives or not.
I think the 3070 is about 5 years old, which is about the lifetime for a good 2032 battery. The 3070 almost seems too new for all of that, but is showing the signs.
Once that's taken care of, as Chino said, have BIOS set to AHCI when loading SSD.
It's not said what you're trying to load from or how it was created, so one more post to make sure the bases are covered...

On a working PC, download Win10 to an 8GB or bigger blank flash drive formatted to FAT32. They often come formatted that way anyway. Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File) Microsoft Site Download the ISO. It will be in your Downloads folder. With flash drive inserted, click on the ISO and follow onscreen instructions Win10 will then be loaded on the flash drive. Takes a little while. When ready to load Win10 from flash drive, boot from from flash drive on your PC to load Win10.
When a window pops up asking what partition to load Win10 on, delete all previous partitions except for System and MSR if reusing a boot drive. Then click on Next or Install. Win10 will then automatically create the appropriate partitions and load. If a window pops up asking for product key, click on link that says "I do not have a product key." Win10 will then continue to install using the product key that's imbedded in BIOS. You'll still need to activate it online.
If it's Win11 you want: Download Windows 11 Microsoft Site
