How to connect Replacement AirPod Pro 2 to my Apple ID?

"Last summer, I bought the AirPods Pro 2, initially linked them to a friend's phone, then re-linked them to my own Apple ID. I used them for several months but lost the left earbud on the road, where it was hit by a car. In desperation, I clicked 'Forget Device' without knowing I could buy a replacement earbud separately. Later, I learned about this option, bought a replacement, but when trying to connect, I received a message saying the device isn't mine. I have attached a screenshot of the notification."

Try this

Put both AirPods in your charging case.
Connect the case to a power source, close the lid and wait 20 minutes.
Open the lid and check the status light. It should flash amber.
Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case for 15 seconds until the status light starts flashing white.
Go to the Home Screen on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Open the case – with your AirPods inside – and hold it next to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. A setup animation will appear on your screen.
Tap Connect, then tap Done.

if this is not working, you might want to reset the AirPods first before you follow above instructions

I have tried all the methods to reset the Airpods. The fundamental problem here is that before clicking “Forget device” I set it to lost mode in “Locator” And I need someone to help me untie the ID of the case and earphone from the lost mode
