My machine connects only to the case of my bluetooth earbuds

Hello, i run only arch with hyprland on my machine(VivoBook_ASUSLaptop X580GD_N580GD), and noticed that my nothing ear 2 can only connect to my pc when the case is open and my earbuds are in it, when they are connected no sound is coming out off the earbuds and if i take them out of the case they disconnect after a few seconds due to timeout. The profile is set to a2dp as it should. I tried:
-removing the connection and pairing them again.
-deleting the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file.
-switching from pulseaudio to pipewire.
-not using bluetoothctl to make the connection(i used the blueman gui, not sure if there is a difference).
-installing the linux-lts kernel.

this is the bluetoothctl log:
