AirPods don’t appear in find my iPhone

I have paired my Airpods with my iPhone 14 Pro and they are listed under "Bluetooth,” however they do not show as a device Find My iPhone. Because of this, I cannot use "Find my IPhone" to find my AirPods.

I have tried several times. My AirPods are connected to my iPhone. I can see them under Bluetooth and use them daily. However, when I try to add them to Find My, it just says searching for item. I am literally holding them next to the phone. I have even opened them and my phone recognizes them as they’ll appear on the screen as connected, but never appear as a

device in the Find My app. Just keeps doing “searching item,” but never finds them.
