Hi there, I'm looking for help with a Thunderbolt 3 expansion card under macOS Catalina (10.15.7). I'm including what I believe is the most relevant info below. Thanks in advance for taking a look!

Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge 2.0

Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra
I've got the TB3 card in PCIe slot 4. My aim is to connect this 10G Ethernet adapter (connected a Synology NAS):

Network preferences indicate the adaptor is active:
And the same on the Synology side:
However I'm not able to connect over this interface. It seems like "something is working" but there must be a piece I'm missing. My only hint is that the hardware inspector indicates there is no Thunderbolt driver loaded (see below). It's not important to me to be able to hot swap TB3 devices; I just need things to work when they are connected at boot time.
I started with an EFI sourced from this build without modification: https://github.com/cmer/gigabyte-z390-aorus-master-hackintosh
I've been using this EFI for some time now; Aorus Ultra & Master have same USB port map so it works out of the box.
I then added the following SSDT files and linked them in my config.plist
SSDT-Z390-RP21-SLOT4-TB3HP.aml

SSDT-DTPG.aml

Both SSDT were found in this (similar) build:

Adding the SSDT files resulted in the Hardware/PCI section populating with info:
But no change to the Hardware/Thunderbolt section
