Bluetooth Failing to Load Installed Firmware

So I'm using a WiFi 6E AXE5400+BT5.2 pcie wifi card from asus, which claims to have linux support. While its wifi capabilities worked right out of the gate, the bluetooth has been throwing me through a loop.
I've done everything from checking cable connection(this was actually the first issue I fixed) to making sure I had the proper packages installed. I even recently tried installed the supposed missing firmware from
firmware.https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm … rmware.git. All of which as failed to actually fix the problem and I continue to get the message saying that the firmware failed to load.
Any advice on what to try next or any possible fixes for this issue?

Re: Bluetooth Failing to Load Installed Firmware

Make sure Windows fast boot is disabled if this is a dual boot.

I'm not running dual boot, but gave this a try anyway and am still getting the same error.
