Can't get notifications to work on Garmin echomap plus

[10point]

I can't get my phone to pair so I can get notifications. As the picture shows I am connected through that Garmin active captain app and everything works except for the notifications. I contacted Garmin support today and they thought maybe I needed to add permissions for the app but it has all permissions. I have Bluetooth on and I cannot think of anything else that's preventing it from connecting. Any ideas? I also have the notifications page open on the fishfinder when I'm trying to connect.
