NVMe M.2 drive not consistently mounting on startup

So I've got 6 drives plugged into my unholy mess of a machine. 3 standard HDD's of varying sizes, 2 NVMe M.2 SSD's (one boot/root, the other just storage), and a 2.5" SSD.

During my initial setup, I used the Partition Manager to set the mount point for each of the non-root drives under /var/mnt/, the same way I did in Nobara a few months ago (though on non-atomic I believe I just did directly under /mnt/). For whatever reason, the storage M.2 drive occasionally fails to mount on start up (I'd say about 50/50). It's frustrating for Steam as that's where most of my games are, and mounting while the computer is already started, all the games seem to need to re-do their vulkan shaders for whatever reason.

I'm hesitant to point to a hardware issue at this point as it was working flawlessly before I installed Bazzite, and I am able to immediately mount it no issues when it does not auto mount. The only changes between Nobara and switching to Bazzite is that I installed and freshly formatted a new M.2 NVMe in the old Nobara's drives slot (which is currently sitting on my desk), the drive in question was never touched. Is there a better way I should be setting the mount points, or what additional info is needed to help me troubleshoot this? MOBO is also less then 4 months old.
