how to debug a failing NVME PCI passthrough on ESXI 7.0u2?

I have a combined NVME and 10gbe card i'm trying to passthrough the nvme to a vm in ESXI 7.0u2 and no matter what i try it remains as "Enabled / Needs Reboot": https://imgur.com/a/27EgepS I have set VMkernel.Boot.disableACSCheck = true as well, tried passing all three, just 1 multiple reboots etc.

What is the best way to go about debugging this? i'm not sure what log file might contain why this is failing, or where to even begin as every other device just worked first try (4 passed through at the moment) - i have two types of NVME and both are failing as I figured maybe it was the device, and in posting elsewhere this setup should work with the  on Sonly difference being the motherboard in use.
