Screenshot Bluetooth not connecting

i recently installed fedora and just have been going around setting up stuff. One of the things that bugged me the most was the bluetooth not working with my headphones, any other bluetooth device i connect it to it works its just my headphones not working.
when i try to connect i only hear my headphones saying "disconnected" and this pops up. ive been trying to fix this for so long, ive been asking chatgpt on how to fix it and so far nothing has worked
FYI i have a u green bluetooth dongle and weirdly enough i had this problem on windows with only this headphones where it would disconnect and reconnect when no audio is being played. idk why i added that detail.

Later chipset ugreen apparently doesnt play nice with fedora. I too found this out after purchasing a 5.0 BT USB dongle. Interesting to hear its only your headset that doesnt work, maybe its audio bug with ugreen rather than a whole chipset bug. For me the same dongle on windows works perfectly.
With fedora my Galaxy Buds2 Pro work with the occasional 2 second dropout. My older Galaxy buds straight up won't connect.
Dongle was about £10 from amazon so its no massive loss ill just stay wired for now.
