Quest 3 in locked state and wont link with Horizon app.

So i factory reset my quest 3 because it was having issues with file transfer. i would upload with sidequest and it would seem successful, but it would not appear in the files directory despite there being 1 file present in the file count on the quest.

Anyway I was trying to log back in after factory resetting my device when I entered wifi info and entered the qr code form the app to the device.

But then nothing happened. At this point in the setup i think usually the app would pair with the device over wifi, and would negotiate automatically. But as it is now, I am left with a six digit code on my VR screen, and a never ending "looking for headset" on my Horizon app pairing screen.

It will not pair.

and when i check the App it still lists my old device on my list, but i can't delete it.

and when i log into a different account to try to pair it the same thing happens.

Device info says the device is in a locked state. I have no idea where to go from here, so any advice is appreciated thank you.
