AirPods not showing Find Nearby feature in Find My

My airpods used to show me where they are relative to me, but I had to click forget device due to connection errors with my phone. Now they work fine, but they only show the option to Play Sound, not to Find Nearby. Is there any way to fix this?

Note: If your AirPods 3, AirPods 4 (ANC), AirPods 5 with Wireless Charging Case, AirPods Pro, or AirPods Max are used with multiple Apple Accounts (for example, if you lend or share AirPods), only the person who turned on the Find My network can see them in the Find My app.

You must pair AirPods with iPhone or iPad where you’re signed in to your Apple Account to see your AirPods in Find My on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch, or on the web at iCloud.com/find.
For the best experience with Find My, make sure your paired device has the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, or watchOS installed.
