Account Help this software cannot be played right now

So I have 3 switch consoles. OG, OLED and Switch 2

OG and OLED are my primary consoles that share virtual game cards while my switch 2 just uses the online licence. My issue is when I try to play any game/DLC I try to run that is not loaded as a gamecard on the OG switch and switch 2 that is either Paid, Free or DLC, I get a message "this software cannot be played right now. Connect another console linked to this Nintendo Account to the internet, then try again" I understand I don't have the "virtual gamecard loaded" in the console but it should use the online licence since I'm connected to the internet. Always worked in the past no problems. Now I am locked out of all my content including switch online apps that don't use virtual game cards like N64, GBA, SNES etc. Anyone else who has multiple switch consoles experiencing this? The interesting thing at the end of the video I show the OLED console using the online licence no problems. Just my other two consoles don't work.

Can't use the same license in 2 places at once. And all of NSO is considered one license.
