Oculus games won't play because of AirLink

Facite

So I have this problem that I owned a Rift S before now getting my hands on a Quest 3. I got Steam Link to work, and also AirLink is active (otherwise i wouldn't be connected to my steam account on my desktop pc). 
The problem is that I bought several games in the Oculus Store as well - but I can't even start them through the Quest because they don't show up. When attempting to start them through the Meta Link App on the desktop PC it asks me to check for AirLink connection.
So this is a two part question i guess. 
#1: Why do my games not show up in my Quest? 
#2: Why does it not recognize my active AirLink Connection?

Any help would be appreciated.

@Facite  Link/Airlink and SteamLink are completely different products. SteamLink does not need Link/Airlink to be working for it to work. 

Link/Airlink uses meta's supported hardware list to function, if your GPU isn't on the list, then it won't work. SteamLink will work though.

If Link/Airlink isn't working you won't be able to see your Oculus/meta PCVR games. If you run SteamLink with the 'ReVive' addon you'll be able to see your Oculus/meta  PCVR games.

Virtual Desktop is another app which allows you to connect your PC to your headset wirelessly to play your PCVR games.
