As the drives show up in linux and uefi i would say everything is fine.
As i havent configured a raid on these boards i dont know it there is a problem.
Have you tested already? If not i would just set up the raid and try then.. Not sure if your port numbering is the internal numbering or on the ports but some are on the asmedia and some are on the 990Fx, think they should all run on the 990Fx
Offtopic:
If you dont plan on massive file transfers with big files, there is no gain in raid 0.
The latency is what makes ssd´s so much faster and latency is going to get a slight hit on raid 0.
So for games and your operating system you will maybe see cool numbers in file transfers but your actual boot and performance will be worse.
And you already know that failure rate is doubled.. Not only by the drives, but loss of power, cables getting lose etc..

Welcome to the ASUS ROG Forum!
If the BIOS is seeing all of your drives that is what counts 🙂 The fact that Ubuntu also sees both of the SSD devices tells me once again that everything is fine. You simply may of discovered a "bug" that causes the BIOS during the POST to not display all of the storage devices correctly. If you really want to satisfy your question if everything is OK you could simply swap the SATA Data Cables going to the SATA connectors on the motherboard as this would have the same affect.
I'm sure you are aware but for other please note that implementing RAID-0 (and JBOD) offers no fault tolerance-just a performance increase...if one drive is lost you lose the data on all of the drives. RAID-1 does offer better performance but less storage capability but at least you will have some fault tolerance built into your system.
PS: Check out the SMART data on the drives too...the SMART Monitor Utility from Acronis is easy to use (we use that in the computer hardware class that I teach) just as another tool to verify that all is well.

You may be lucky that your drive supports some type of internal trim. But it could be another reason why you will get less performance than with standalone drives
