Bluetooth controller not registering correctly

Hi - I'm running the desktop version of Bazzite 3.5.

I have an 8bitdo Ultimate contoller that has both BT and 2.4g options. When I connect via BT, the controller shows up in Bazzite as a Pro Controller and I'm able to see button presses registered when testing with the KDE Game Controller util. However, the status LEDs in the front (1-4) never light up to indicate a succesful connection. When I try to use the controller with Steam, it states "unknown controller support"

If I switch to 2.4g connection then the first status light goes green and Steam switches to "Mostly Playable with your controller."

The frustrating part is that BT used to work correctly several months ago and I'd prefer to use that method so that my 2.4G dongle can be used elsewhere. Any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot this? Thanks,
