Welcome to the Community,

I've only seen something like this when connected directly to an ESXi host in an environment with Distributed Switches.

Can you confirm you are using Standard vSwitches and you are able to select a network while creating a new VM?

yes connected directly because the VM having the issue is the vcenter vm

its a new environment that was stood up so nothing is on it yet

How does the virtual network configuration look like on the host? Does it show the Virtual Machine port group(s)?
