I have an X570 Aorus Ultra, Ryzen 9 5900x, x4 Nvme Sabrent 2TB, three are using the motherboard's M.2 slots, one is using a PCIe adapter. I can see only three, the one with the PCIe adapter works if I remove another one. I also have two SATAs as system/OS disks. Any idea if it is possible to make 4 NVMEs work?

look at the manual for your mobo and see which chip[set overlap with the satas, and which do not, there might be other slots you can make use of
I says 6 sata and 3 M.2, the third one goes via the chipset, the other two, directly to the CPU. I did not see that by disabling the SATA controller I can get any extra M.2. I thought that M.2 was using the PCIe so I could use any PCI x4,8,16.

Sounds like a chipset/driver issue from the sounds of it, unless there's a menu is bios somewhere that allows you to change that.
In which PCIE slot is the adapter? Does that slot share the PCIE lanes with one of the M.2 slots?

It might be worth checking the manual - the 3rd m.2 slot usually shares lanes with the sata ports or the 4x slot.
If your gpu is pcie 4.0, you could try using the 8x slot.
