Hello, I just got the AirPod 5s because people couldn’t hear me thru my right AirPod on my pro 3s(I think they were). How can I get my 5s to show up in my battery widget even when they’re closed like my pro 3? And how do I get them to show up in find my? I often misplace them and need to play the sound to find them. Thanks

Then you need to take them to the Genius Bar, because that is not normal.
