R640 NVME Issues

Greetings, I have a R640 server, and I'm looking to add NVME drives to the server. The server came originally with a Perc H740p Mini Integrated / S140 with BP14G+EXP 0:1 enclosure. I've since then added DP/N 6PPNG 6-9 NVME Assembly Cable, and installed 2x Dell Express Flash PM1725b 1.6TB SFF, KR-04WDXY-SSK00-97R-00NW-A00. I cannot for the life of me get the NVME drives to show up, but my SAS drives are showing up without issue. Bios version 2.22.2, idrac 7.00.00.174, latest Server 2022 OS Driver Pack for Lifecycle Manager, H740p firmware 51.16.0-5150. I've tried Raid Mode, AHCI, etc. I've loaded Server 2022 installer using lifecycle manager, even loaded the H740p & S140 drivers from the driver pack during install but get no NVME drives. The drives (SAS HDD and SSD NVME) do show up fine on the idrac storage interface, see attached. I've also loaded Linux, see linux has the raid drivers, but with nvme list or lspci or lsblk, I cannot see any NVME drives. Not sure where to go from here. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
