I have just recieved this circuit board and im trying to program it with an ST-LINK V2 however i keep getting the error "no stm32 target found" when trying to connect to it through SWD. Could someone help me?

Please double-check the connection of RST/TMS/TCK to the right pins at the STLINK-V2. Additionally you could try to Connect Under Reset to avoid trouble when running in low-power modes and/or not defining the SWD pins within your user program.

BTW: it is recommended not to use a pull-up (R19) a NRST, as there is already a built-in pull-ip (see RM0364, pg 105, fig. 9), so the capacitor (C12) is sufficient. NRST is a bidirectional pin and is also able to drive external circuitry when needed.

Pin 1/2 of the ST-LINK 20-pin needs to be powered so the buffers work.

The design here forecloses several methods to do signs-of-life.

The grounding of unused pins might be an issue for the boot-loader.

You can check the state of NRST, if clamped low, then power issues.

The 10K pull-up should be inconsequential.
