What Port did you install it in?
 
Set Boot Mode to UEFI
 
 
 
Save and Restart F10

I have 2x 950 Pro SSD 512GB installed in port M.2 PM1 and M.2 PM2
i actually installed windows 10 on M.2PM1 it's just that the Nvme information in Bios is blank.

Is this set?
That is to Boot Mode UEFI.
Also I cannot read the Bios Version on your Images.

Push that Small Red Button to Rest the Bios then Re-Setup your Settings.
Do Not Load a Save Profile but do write all the info you will need to set it back up.
You can change Bios as well you have 3 of them.
It could just be a Corrupt Bios and you can re-flash it.
This happens sometime when you update the Bios but do not set the Bios back to the Default.
That Small Red Button is like Pulling the Battery from the Motherboard.
 
I am thinking that this is the X299 Dark Motherboard.
Your images are not so good, use a USB Flash Drive and F12 to snap your Bios settings.
It will create a .BMP file and you can edit it in Paint and save as a .jpg file and post it here on the Forum.

Yes i did reset but it's couple of times while the power is off and cable disconnected while pressing the power button for 30 seconds. it's still the same no Nvme Information Page in BIOS.
couple of months ago when i first boot the PC and started looking in the Nvme Info Page it's already blank and no info.. the removable Bios chip version was v1.00 then i upgraded to bios v1.14 and still the same..
I notice this too in my Rampage VI Extreme motherboard. the BIOS NVME info page was blank!
so idk what's going on

Maybe the Drive has no info?
I wonder if there is a new Firmware for your Drive?
Install Samsung Magician to see if they have one.
Magician Software Version 5.3 | 28.6MB DOWNLOAD

Firmware Only 
NVMe SSD-950 PRO Firmware ISO 2B0QBXX7 | 15MB DOWNLOAD

And the drives are set properly in the bios / onboard devices section -

they are set like this:

 
 
but i think this is the reason why it doesn't work i read the post from https://www.overclock.net/forum/355-ssd/1579581-official-samsung-950-pro-owners-club-193.html

Samsung did include a boot rom because that 950 controller is actually based on a SATA controller (that is why they also have AHCI versions of it, and also why they make SATA versions of M.2 SSD's all thanks to that same controller), so it was easy enough for them to put in a legacy bios support. However the 960 series introduced a entirely new controller built specifically for NVMe, and so they didn't want to put in the resources to create a legacy boot rom for it, so they didn't. The 960 and up will require EFI support from the motherboard bios (to load the NVMe EFI drivers)

Which CPU do you have? (looking at your PM2 on PCH)
 
And as to you post above and in relation to bcavnaugh's posts - you are using UEFI and nothing is set to legacy correct?
 
 
What is shown on the page, since you have the 950 and not the 960

Well, if your system is getting into the OS and you can access both drives I would say don't worry about it.
 
As from that quote you had above I cannot figure out of your drives have the SATA controller or the NVME controller. If it is the SATA I am surprised that it is actually working.

Thanks for the help! 

At least I'm not alone.  I recently upgraded to the X299 DARK with a 950 Pro and a 970 Pro and it only showed the 970 Pro.  However, it surprised me when it randomly booted to my previous Windows install on the 950, and that seems to be working without issue.
 
Strange issue.

Strange issue.




I have two Samsung 970's in my Dark mobo. One in socket PM1 and the other in socket PM2. The only other card i have populating any PCI-E sockets is a RTX 2080 in the top 16x slot. Yet for some reason if i activate NVME RAID mode, the motherboard shows one of the 970's (socket PM1) as NVME, taking lanes from the CPU and the other 970 (socket PM2) as NVME but taking lanes from the PCH (even though i have set both to take lanes from the CPU in the mobo BIOS). Notably i'm using the Core i7 9800X (a 44 lane CPU).  So both should be able to takes 4x lanes each from the CPU. But socket PM2 refuses to do that...
