Reassign disk option not giving any VM options in list

If I have an unused disk, how do i go about assigning it to a VM? When I use the option, no VMs show up in the list to assign it to. I'm experimenting with converting vmdk files and found the command to convert, I placed the disks with a test VM and named the converted disks the same naming convention as the temp disk I created initially but when I go to assign it, it does not give me any option.
 
Have you tried using CLI (man qm // search "qm disk move")?
Other than that, perhaps if you can provide more details about your environment someone might be able to give you a better clue:
qm list
qm config [vmid]
qm status
pvecm status
pvesm status
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
journalctl -f // while doing qm disk move or GUI steps
tail -100 /var/log/pveproxy/access.log


Blockbridge : Ultra low latency all-NVME shared storage for Proxmox - https://www.blockbridge.com/proxmox
 
Here's all the output. Nothing special happens when I try to reassign, as I never get any option in the drop down to try to reassign to.

I also tried with a disk that was created within PVE, to rule out an issue with the conversion I did.

Yeah I just figured that out now, editing it and then assigning a sata port did the trick. I do have other VMs though but they're on another host so guess only the ones on same host show up. I just migrated a VM over to same host and it shows up in list now.
