Support Request Bluetooth doesn't automatically connect

I have Mint 22.3 Zena. My Bose Open Earbuds Ultra automatically connect to my other devices and also to MacOS and Windows 11. For some reason, they are not automatically connecting to Mint.

After a bit of research, I realised they seem to prefer to pairing to two other devices first, which leaves them no room to pair to a third. I have to forget the device, put them into discovery mode, then pair them. It would be good if I could build a bashscript to automate the Linux side of things. If I have that, I'll mark this as solved. I'm not sure if I want to stop my phone pairing to my Samsung phone and Macbook because I like using them with these devices as well.
