Controller not working in big picture

Hello, I've just installed Bazzite on my new living room PC and am having issues with my Xbox One controller. On the first boot I minimised big picture and connected the Xbox controller via bluetooth with no issues. I then went back into big picture and steam could see the controller. After tweaking some things and doing some updates I rebooted the PC.

It booted back into big picture mode, and the controller wasn't connected. I minimised big picture and the controller connected instantly. Once I went back into big picture then the controller disconnected again. I've since removed the controller and re-added it but the same issue is occurring, and Steam cannot see the controller. Is anyone aware of a fix for this? Thank you!
Solution
lol stupid from me but I assumed that as bluetooth was enabled on the desktop, it would also be enabled in steam. This was not the case....
