How can I set my bluetooth dongle to be primary bluetooth adapter on Bazzite?

Hi guys, I am new to bazzite and I already tried what felt like 20 attempts to make the usb dongle default device, but ended up borking bluetooth completely.
I am getting a bit tired of reinstaling the OS and at this point would like to seek your advice.
What I tried >>
First attempt: Created udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/81-bluetooth-controllers.rules
Second attempt: Created a systemd service in /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth-default.service
Third attempt: Modified /etc/bluetooth/main.conf to set DefaultControllers and DisablePlugins
Fourth attempt: Tried creating configuration in /var/lib/bluetooth/settings/controllers.conf
Fifth attempt: Created user-level systemd service in ~/.config/systemd/user/bluetooth-default.service
Sixth attempt: Tried rpm-ostree approach to create system overlay (failed due to immutable filesystem)
Final attempt: Tried udev rules in writable location /var/lib/udev/rules.d/

None of these approaches worked, likely due to Bazzite's immutable filesystem design.
I feel completely lost, please help.
