They may be SATA-only M.2, not NVMe. Read the manual closely.

Best try is always to search for the chip markings. You would find
this thread:

There's a slight difference (ASM1062 vs ASM1064) but the card should work with
standard AHCI driver (you may need to add pciids or bind the driver to
the card).
