Am I cooked

Tried to install a new SATA ssd and kept getting sent to BIOS, noticed one of my SATA plugs on my motherboard was damaged. So I connected it to a secondary plug and now my computer can't find either of the SSDs. I've tried just using the new SSD, just using the old one and I've had no luck. Worst case seems like I'll have to get a new motherboard which I really don't want to do. Any advice or should I just accept my fate?
