steam controller setup not changing colors on ps4 controller on BT

[SkipSandwichDX]

title basically. i tried a few searches on here and a bunch on google but couldn't find a solution. i may be phrasing the search query stupidly idk. anyone know how to get it to change through BT (it works on wired. lets me change bright/colors but when i switch to BT it gets super dim and goes back to that white-ish blue)

Any difference if you access things via Big Picture Mode?
PlayStation config support enabled does anything?

i'm trying to change the color through big picture. ill try again and post of success just to confirm though
edit: yea sliders don't seem to change anything. after clicking submit with my changes, nothing changes physically

Does the controller vibrate when you click Identify?

Assuming you're on Windows:
Are you using third party software e.g. DS4Windows?

At the moment I'm thinking It may be the Bluetooth receiver not handling the controller and it's higher data rate mode, third party software if any or something up with Steam.

If running third party input mapper, close it and test with just Steam.

To get an idea if it's BT receiver/Steam, I would suggest trying DS4Windows (exit Steam) and see if it successfully allows you to change lightbar over BT.
