Ventura Not Recognizing Internal SSD and Not Indexing It

I have a mid 2017 iMac (5K 27") with 2 internal SSD drives. One is a 2 TB SSD PCI-Express drive containing Ventura and and the other is a 4TB SSD drive that contains my data which physically replaced my harddrive.  Both drives are accessible but I have 2 issues:

1) In Finder, under Locations, my Mac does not list the data SSD drive. Finder Favorites previously setup to data locations on the drive are accessible. I can get to the drive level by selecting "Show in Finder" from Disk Utility but it disappears once I move off of it. 

2) Spotlight is not indexing my data SSD. I cannot search in Spotlight or from my finder for data files on this drive. It cannot find the simplest searches. I forced spotlight to reindex through terminal with no resolution.  When I drag and drop the drive or any folder from that drive into Privacy to tell Spotlight not to search these locations, I get a "Privacy List Error" - The item couldn’t be added or removed because of an unknown error.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and hopefully have a work around.

Thank
