Bluetooth not pairing

[GhostFire04]

As the title says some Bluetooth devices refuse to pair, I constantly get the "Didn't get a response from the device" message and it is really annoying! I have seen plenty other posts about this but none of their fixes fix this. I am trying to pair 2 Nintendo switch joycons (Made sure they are syncing and disconnected from the switch) but it's not only them that do this, my phone doesn't pair but other peoples do! I'm not sure what is wrong please help.
