I created another installation tool on the USB. I tried using startup repair, it didn't work. I tried rebuilding my boot configuration data file, didn't work too. I later tried to do clean windows installation, but the installation package couldn't see any drive on my PC to install to despite having internal HDD and SSD drives. Please what other option do I have now?

You don't know the basics. Rebuild bcd is for Legacy and not for UEFI!
On which disk did you install windows?
diskpart
list disk
sel disk X (X=0,1,2..)
list par
list vol
sel par 1 (if it is the Fat32 partition!)
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter="B"
exit
bcdboot C:\Windows /l en-US /s B: /f UEFI (if your Windows vol is C)
exit
exit

Windows is currently on SSD which was showing as disk 1 when my PC was still accessible, I cloned windows to it before cleaning my HDD. The issue is that my PC is not recognizing any of the drives except for the bootable USB drive I inserted, no drive 0,1,2 except drive 0 which is the USB.

diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0

Clean
If you really did it like you posted above, you might have cleaned the complete pc.
After sel disk 0 you can't run list disk and then clean!
Does your BIOS detect any disk?
