What are you putting this drive in, device model would be helpful? It's more likely that your device doesn't support M2 NVMe drives and you need a M2 SATA drive. Some devices like Dell XPS 9360 can support either M2 NVMe or M2 SATA while other devices like Dell Wyse 5070 only support M2 SATA drives.

are you sure its just not faulty? even if it is a fake, you might be able to file a claim with amazon...
