xone driver can't load firmware

I'm running a fresh Bazzite install where my wireless xbox one dongle does not work. Controllers can't pair (was previously paired) and the lights also don't light up.

shows the dongle, but
dmesg
dmesg
says:

xone_dongle_fw_load: request firmware failed: -2
Direct firmware load for xow_dongle_045e_02e6.bin failed with error -2
xone_dongle_fw_load: request firmware failed: -2
Direct firmware load for xow_dongle_045e_02e6.bin failed with error -2


Bazzite comes with the firmware under
/lib/firmware/xow_dongle.bin
/lib/firmware/xow_dongle.bin
, which also has the expected checksum. The error message above makes me think the driver is trying to load the file from
/lib/firmware/xow_dongle_045e_02e6.bin
/lib/firmware/xow_dongle_045e_02e6.bin
though. Since that is read-only filesystem, I can't copy the file there to test.

Any ideas how I can fix this?
