Hi:
A couple of questions for you...
Did you replace the 256 GB M.2 SSD with a NVMe model?
That is the only kind supported. A NVMe drive looks like this...

Did you reinstall the operating system on the new SSD?
You can use the cloud recovery tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive that will reinstall W10, the drivers and the software that originally came with your PC.
Here is an info link for how to use that utility.
