Default Hot plug bay, strange behavior

Both my Son and I have Coolrmaster CM690 II cases with a hot swap bay
built into the top. His MB is an ASUS Z390 prime A.
Yesterday I gave him a 120 GB Kingston freshly formatted SSD to store
his Photos, He plugged it in and it wouldn't show up, I took it to my
system and it works fine in my hot plug bay
Before opening the box to check fo loose Sata cables etc, I decided to
try a few things as he hasn't used that bay for a few months, I tried 2
other SSDs with no show on both, Yet they work on mine.
Then left it plugged in and tried a cold boot, Aha, now it showed up and
I can unplug it and plug in a couple otherr drives and they all work fine.
I repeated the test 3 or 4 times withe the same results, If I boot
without a drive plugged in the bay will not as if not detected, But if I
boot with a drive in the bay the drives work as normal.
I switched Sata ports on the MB and went over the bios settings with the
same results.
As it is it works fine as long as he boots with a drive in the bay.
I suspect a problem in the bay electronics but can't even see them
without dismantling the whole top of the box, Which I don't really want
to do as long as it works OK with a drive in the bay.
Any other thoughts for me to try?

Thanks, Rene

Sure we have other thoughts as usual. The first thing an old man could
do is to read this article and try it:

https://itstillworks.com/enable-plug-play-5095705.html

For reasons only you would know, you thought it clever to disable hot
plug & play on your son's computer. How old is your son still relying
on you? Surely, it must be time for him to start making a living for
himself. Is he disabled? If so then it is understandable!

Are you sure that hot swap is turned on in bios?

Yes, positively on both PCs.

You're nothing but a mean, old ******
with a limp penis. Find a Mc Donald's
restaurant in Birmingham and jerk off
in the men's room. You'll feel better
afterwords. I do it all the time!
