Bluetooth not working

Hey guys, I am trying to connect some devices (headphones and keyboard) via bluetooth but in Settings -> Bluetooth I got the following:
  1. Toggle is grayed out, I can't enable it
  2. No Bluetooth Found. Plug in a dongle to use Bluetooth
If I check for status of bluetooth.service is says it is inactive and I got:
May 15 08:29:46 bazzite systemd[1]: bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionPathIsDirectory=/sys/class/bluetooth).

If I use:
modprobe btusb
then systemctl start bluetooth.service

It starts but I see some warnings in there:

If I reboot, it goes back to inactive.
I disabled fast boot from BIOS(saw this as a solution but doesn't work for me)



Let me know if I can provide more info. Thanks in advance for any help!
