Cant boot from any kernel other than linux-zen

Please, give real information. What you think is not working, sometimes can be different from another not working.
What happens? What are the errors?

Re-Install grub (not update, install)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Installation_2

Also check your BIOS for reset settings (you don't dual-boot Windows, do you?).

This is the error at startup when trying to use a kernel other than linux-zen or linux-cacule. I think the kernel can't find the root partition for some reason. Also yes I am dual-booting windows.

ERROR: resume: hibernation device 'UUID=8cf91ab4-99a5-49bc-ab33-e460d1dffcc7' not found

You are not being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh; can't access tty; job control turned off

lsblk -f gives:

You seem to have broken your system, definately because of dual-booting with windows.

You have chosen this that we cannot support.
I hope you find some help from others.

I just tried installing EndevourOS and Kubuntu and neither could even find my NVME SSDs, Then I put in the garuda live usb and it found both my SSDs. Why is it that the others can't find my SSDs? Could it be that raid from before I installed linux is causing issues now?

I fixed it. apparently RAID wasn't fully off and M.2 Genie was on because turning on raid enables it but disabling raid in advanced doesn't disable M.2 Genie and it wasn't anywhere in the advanced mode instead I had to disable it in the EZ menu. tnx for helping!
