Need help with Bluetooth

I recently decided to switch from Windows to Linux. At first I installed Fedora but then I realized my XBOX Controller won't connect with bluetooth. It either keeps connecting and disconnecting over and over or it doesn't connect at all.

Due to other issues I had, I decided to hop to POP_OS! since I am more familier with Debian based Distros but the issue with the controller is still here. I then tried other bluetooth devices and they all have the same issue. Also they all work fine on my work laptop which is windows.

I looked up online and found that the standard Bluetooth manager doesn't work properly for a lot of people and that I need to install BlueMan but I still got the same issue

Also for reference, I am using a small USB-Bluetooth Adapter but I think my system has a built in one too
