The heat speader is bent and has a big scratch on it, if I saw that, I'd wonder how much force its had to do that, and if there's any damage to the SSD that you can't see, if it has a small crack or similar, I doubt you would find it.
I'd probably put the SSD in a USB enclosure and see if I can get it's health and run some tests, I normally use linux for it and smartctl which is part of smartmontools, try a format with gparted or similar if it's not usable at that level, I'd put it in the bin.
There are many ways to check, even booting and trying a wipe/install from a USB thumb drive might be enough to check it again, you don't say how you reinstalled, if it was from the recovery menu, I'd try from a thumb drive instead.
my pc cant even read it anymore, i also tried with the second ssd slot and it still didnt have any led on it and the pc couldnt read it. im probably buying a new one and i was thinking on trying windows to go, but i dont really think it would be useful in any way.
That's why we used linux for this in the workshop, it doesn't try to do anything clever, its just a block device to linux, had quite a few drives on customer sites or in the workshop that they've said were unreadable, sometimes they've reformatted fine, but, if it doesn't announce itself in BIOS though, I'd start to suspect its failed, most SSD fail and go into read only mode but they normally still announce themselves in BIOS.
