iPhone Mirroring on Mac won't let me choose which phone

I'm losing my mind. I had a 15 Pro Max, it was paired to my M2 Max MacBook Pro. I updated to a 17 Pro Max. It kept trying to connect to my 15, so i revoked access. Now, I have a second phone which is my work phone, a 17 Pro. Whenever i open iPhone Mirroring, it will ONLY attempt to connect to the work phone! No matter what I do, it will never prompt me to connect to my personal 17 Pro Max. It will never ask to input the pin on the 17 Pro Max to pair it; it will only come up on the 17 Pro.....and when I turn the 17 Pro off, it just says "cannot find the 17 Pro." I've rebooted everything multiple times, turned settings on and off, and nothing. I've done this before obviously with my old 15 Pro Max because I always had a work phone too, but I've never had this issue. Running iOS 26 and MacOS 26. Can anyone help before I lose my mind? Thanks!!
