Can't Connect Braille Display to macOS

Hello AppleVis,

I'm trying to connect my Braille Display to my mac but whenever it connects, it stays on the pairing screen and will not pair. I'm using a Focus 40 Refreshable Braille Display. I'm running the latest public version of macOS.

I've been going to VoiceOver Utility, then the Braille tab, then Displays, then add. My mac detects it and connects, but the Focus 40 doesn't recognize it.
I've also done it by going to System Settings, then Bluetooth then adding it through there but it doesn't work either. I have also tried restarting both my Braille Display and my mac but still nothing happens.

Is anyone else having this issue?
