Headset stuck at pairing screen

My new meta quest 3 headset stuck at pairing screen. It displayed 5 digit pairing code but no matter how I tried to pair it with my mobile meta horizon app, I couldn't make it works. I tried tons of ways, tons of times, it still didn't work. I even sidelined latest firmware from cocaine.trade, it still didn't help. Connected it to force it manually updated using meta software updated tool, it didn't work either. I contacted meta support, they tried to help but couldn't. Anyone have any idea of what is going on with the headset, please share with me. Thanks!

    Make sure location services and bluetooth is on in both devices.

    If still not working, try a different phone or tablet.

    If still not working, try this:

    or this:
