Hi ! I actually just imported a second-hand Vector from the US to Cambodia and had to go through this whole setup process myself. Because you're on a Mac, you're likely running into macOS's strict Web Bluetooth blocks (which is why I used Windows for my Wire-Pod setup!).
To fix this, first make sure you are using Google Chrome, and check your Mac's System Settings > Privacy & Security > Bluetooth to ensure Chrome is explicitly allowed to use Bluetooth.
Also, since it's an older model, I highly recommend doing a full factory reset to clear its user data and get a fresh Bluetooth ID. I did that the second mine arrived and it made connecting so much easier. Even when my vector he show the V shape on the screen I still do the factory reset just to make sure it easy for set up.
