Homepod gen 2 stereo pairing no longer works after Homepod 26.1 update

As the title suggests after I upgraded to the new software yesterday my Homepods can no longer stereo pair despite me selecting the pairing option. When I go to the sound option on my mac two homepods appear instead of one and when I click on either one the other one disappears. Also in my home app one of the homepods is always configuring and no amount of restarts and resets fixes this issue.

HomePod (2nd generation)
