Rode wireless ME won't pair with iPhone 17 Pro Max

I updated both the TX and RX from my PC because the included cable for USB C to USB C wasn't allowing connection. It shows the mic is connected to the Rode App but it wouldn't update with it. Anyways, during the "Pair" button process, the green LEDs just blinks continuously until Pair no longer searches & just stops. I don't see what I'm doing wrong here whatsoever WTF & they're brand new. This is aggravating, any ideas?
